Hello,

My development is done using a WAMP server, and I need to be able to mail from this server.
How do I install and configure (I assume) PHPmailer so PHPmaker scripts uses it?

You may just set up valid SMTP server info. If you have firewall on your PC or network, you may also need to add a rule for outgoing email.

If you just need to test email sending during development, you may also use a fake SMTP server, you may google "fake smtp".

Thanks.

I am getting: Failed to connect to server SMTP code: 10060

even when firewall is temporarily disabled, also added an rule to allow outgoing traffic on port 587, but all to no avail.

You better write a simple script and put it in your site to test your SMTP settings first. Also enable SMTP Debugging in your test script to find the detailed error.
