You can send email from localhost to your gmail, this is that I use on my website:

Code:

$config['protocol']='smtp';
$config['smtp_host']='ssl://smtp.googlemail.com';
$config['smtp_port']=465;
$config['smtp_user']='[email protected]';
$config['smtp_pass']='yourgmailpassword';
$config['charset']='utf-8';
$config['mailtype']='html';
$config['newline']="\r\n";

and you need to edit your php.ini file (it's around the middle of the file):

Code:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/smtp
SMTP = ssl://smtp.googlemail.com
; http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/sendmail-from
sendmail_from = [email protected]
