Problem sending emails

    I am using XAMPP to have my web page on localhost while I have not finished it and now I have encountered a problem.

    I have the plugin Cfrorms so that people who are going to fill out the form will receive a file by mail to the address they have specified in it.

    But at the time of giving it to send, leaves the page saying that the email has been sent correctly but the message does not arrive.

    I tried to send a message from the Mercury in the xampp and the message arrives, so the problem seems to be in the WordPress or in the plugin.

    Could you help me with the problem?

    Install one of the SMTP plugins because your “server” has no mail transfer agent.

    WordPress uses PHP mail by default to send all emails. PHP mail does not work on Windows systems unless you have a “professional” or “server” version, have enabled the SMTP feature, and have configured PHP to use the SMTP feature.

    If you want to send mail on all other versions of Windows, you must install an SMTP plugin in WordPress, and then use it to connect to an external mail server.

    @diondesigns @sterndata I have tried to install several add-ons but it still does not send and I have Windows 10 Professional as the operating system.

    I just created a new user and the email with the details of the account has arrived, but it took a lot and if from the admin panel, when I’m going to login, I give it to forgot the password and I send it, it says “The email could not be sent. Possible reason: Your hosting may have the mail () function disabled.”

    I do not understand very well what is happening, it seems that it is not a problem of the Operating System and the mercury of the xampp is working.

    I followed several tutorials that indicated how that function was enabled in PHP and I do not understand if it is properly configured because that message comes out.

    This is not a wordpress problem. Check the XAMPP support places. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15965376/how-to-configure-xampp-to-send-mail-from-localhost

    @sterndata I’m not sure where the problem will be, but I imagine that if xampp can send emails and WordPress can not, the problem will be in some WordPress configuration.

    I have enabled a sandbox in a hosting to do the test and see if I can send by WordPress.

    Please make sure the Windows-specific SMTP settings are correct in your php.ini file.

    The problem seems to be in the plugin, since other plugins send emails without problems and WordPress sends without problems. I tried a diagnostic program for the emails and did not detect any problems and the email sent it.

    I have opened a topic in the plugin support section and I have followed your FAQ but I still have the problem.

    I have never gone to the trouble of configuring my localhost to send email. This is one of the few things I leave till I deploy to a hosted server.

    @rossmitchell Currently I have it in a sandbox in a real hosting and the problem is still present, it is something of the most secure program because if it were WordPress, I would not send any email.

    I can′t find the origin of the fault.
