How to setup email - Registration and password recovery?

evanhenry

Hey guys,
I want to set up email so users who register can receive an activation email and forgot password?

I see there is an option under Admin > Email but I am not sure what options to choose. I tried php send function but new users are not receiving emails.

I searched this forum but I didn't get a proper explanation.

Can you tell me the steps to setup email?

Cheerios......

The best solution is to use an external SMTP server:
· SMTP server using sockets (supports ESMTP authentication)
Then set your provider SMTP parameters (just an example):
SMTP server:         smtp.hotmail.com
SMTP port:         25
Authentication:         Yes (Check it)
Email sender address:         blabla@outlook.com
SMTP Authentication User Name:         blabla@outlook.com
SMTP authentication password:         yor_user_password
