I just wanted to let everyone know that for setting up SMF Forum with Mailer works for me finally.

Here's my setup.

1. Windows 10 of course.
2. Apache (XAMPP) in my case
3. Domain name (Optional)

For mailer setup working with Gmail only. (Never tested others) I learned by this...

https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=545201.0

but things still went wrong... I had to add ssl:// in front of gmail.com (ssl://smtp.gmail.com)

And referring to the link above helped. Must go slow if you are new. Can get hairy.

Plus Generating a KEY is the Winner. Wont work without (At least for me)

I appreciate all that contribute to this community.

Thanks!
