 * Stupid question. Do I need a mail server installed on my computer so that the
   email plugins work ?

 * If you’re serving your webpage from your computer, you may. (I don’t know honestly,
   as I’ve never run a webserver on my own computer.)
 * If your web page is hosted somewhere (you have to upload via FTP), more likely
   than not your host has what you’ll need to run them. Most plugins will tell you
   what’s required, and if you don’t know if your host provides that, you should
   be able to check with them to find out.
 * HTH.

 * I’m 90% sure that you already have one installed, if you’re on a host.
 * Are you windows or linux or mac ?

 * No no… It’s just another computer in my LAN… This site is in our Network and 
   it’s just for me and my collegues. I installed easyphp, but no mailserver ….

 * Okay, I really need help. I can’t even find how to post a new post so I write
   mine here.
 * I have installed PHP, mySQL & WordPress and both my wife and I have the blogs
   working…okay so far.
 * Problem: When someone registers their password is never emailed to them. I know
   I answerd wrong SOMEWHERE (where was that) when it asked for my SMTP server, 
   I just said local. I know that is not correct but don’t know where to change 
   it or what it should be. My email is hosted Exchange by a third party so I connect
   kind of weird, its not like I just fill in POP3 SMTP server. I will have to play
   with that but where do I change the settings?
 * Thanks and love the Blog

 * I’m running a hosted exchange account via 1and1. I believe they allow smtp access.
