 * Hi there,
 * I’m trying to setup the mail-function, but there is one problem. When I test 
   the mail settings, it marks that the mail has been send successfully, but I don’t
   get the test-mail on my account. No-matter I use php or wp-mail.
    I tried to 
   setup the smtp function. I filled out every dialog with the corresponding informations,
   but when I tried to sent a test-mail, I got an error.
 * Right now I’m using wp offline on a test-server (over MAMP). Could this be the
   reason for the problems?
 * Thanks a lot, Thowe

 * try smtp and gmail, that’s what I use for local testing
 * another alternative is the smtp mail plugin and then choose WP_Mail, then all
   your local wp emails get sent, not just for EM
