 * Getting following error when trying to send email from any admin page.
 * PHP Warning: Missing argument 3 for wp_mail() in /home/apollo/public_html/wp-
   includes/pluggable.php on line 173
 * The page ends up on a blank white screen. An example is clicking on the “forgot
   password” and trying to have wp try and email a link to reset my password.

 * Hi,
 * We recommend installing a fresh installation of the Plugin.
 * Delete the plugin, and re-install it again!
 * This will fix your problem.
 * Thanks

 * I have the same problem. I want to follow this thread.
    Will I lose my settings
   if I remove the plugin? I didn’t save the email settings from my client.

 * I was able to uninstall and reinstall the SMTP plugin. The settings were saved!
   BUT the error message
 * > Mail SMTP: wp_mail has been declared by another add-on or theme, so you can
   > not use Post SMTP until this conflict is resolved.
