While I working on a PHP script, sometimes it need to send emails. To see the progress I have to upload the full project online. Is there any way to setting up a mail server in my local machine? I'm using windows 8.

Do you really want to set-up a local mail server, or you just want your e-mail delivered (e.g., by your ISP)? – Álvaro González Aug 26 '13 at 11:50

Is it possible sending emails from local machine without mail server? – sameerdzn Aug 26 '13 at 11:54

Of course. That's how people sent e-mail before everybody switched to web mail :) – Álvaro González Aug 26 '13 at 11:57

Use a STMP Mail class and you can send it for example via Google Mail. No need to upload it on your server then.
