@garryfre hehe, glad it worked out.

This a great video, but I still couldn't get SMTP and POP3 to work. The problem was in Mercury 4.7 there is a bug with the MercuryX module which stops the POP3 and SMTP from starting. If you go into XAMPP >> POrt Check and ports 25 and 110 are free that's probably your problem. You need to switch MercuryX off. In Mercury go Configuration>>>Protocol Modules, un-tick Mercuryx and then restart Mercury.

Spent hours finding this out!!!

Thank you so much for posting this video. Couldn't get it to work in Outlook but had to download Thunderbird. Finally got it to work. I learned much about how the email server works in the process. Thank you!
