    <p>I upgraded my local server using XAMPP 1.8.0 which contains Apache 2.4.2, PHP 5.4.5 and MySQL 5.5. I send mails with PHP mail() function by running MercuryMail, but no email received in my inbox.<br> Sending mails are working when I tested with Mozilla Thunderbird. And the mail() function seems to be working with no error issued. </p> <p>I checked <strong>php.ini</strong> in my XAMPP installation path <strong>D:\xampp\php</strong>. I saw this below</p> <pre><code>[mail function] ; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with an SMTP Server like Mercury ; SMTP = localhost ; smtp_port = 25 ; For Win32 only. ; http://php.net/sendmail-from ; sendmail_from = postmaster@localhost ; XAMPP IMPORTANT NOTE (1): If XAMPP is installed in a base directory with spaces (e.g. c:\program filesD:\xampp) fakemail and mailtodisk do not work correctly. ; XAMPP IMPORTANT NOTE (2): In this case please copy the sendmail or mailtodisk folder in your root folder (e.g. C:\sendmail) and use this for sendmail_path. ; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with fakemail for forwarding to your mailbox (sendmail.exe in the sendmail folder) ; sendmail_path = "\"D:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t" ; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with mailToDisk, It writes all mails in the D:\xampp\mailoutput folder ; sendmail_path = "D:\xampp\mailtodisk\mailtodisk.exe" </code></pre> <p>I tweaked some combination of SMTP settings.<br> I commented out host and port </p> <pre><code>; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with an SMTP Server like Mercury SMTP = localhost smtp_port = 25 </code></pre> <p>I commented out <strong>sendmail_path</strong>, but it did not work. Mail could not be sent. </p> <pre><code>; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with fakemail for forwarding to your mailbox (sendmail.exe in the sendmail folder) sendmail_path = "\"D:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t" </code></pre> <p>Again, I commented out anothor sendmail_path to work with mailToDisk </p> <pre><code>; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with mailToDisk, It writes all mails in the D:\xampp\mailoutput folder sendmail_path = "D:\xampp\mailtodisk\mailtodisk.exe" </code></pre> <p>It seems working, but no mail received in inbox. Nothing found in <strong>D:\xampp\mailoutput</strong> </p> <p>In php mail log (D:\xampp\php\logs\php_mail.log), I found several log lines which likely saying mails were sending. </p> <pre><code>mail() on [D:\xampp\htdocs\....:127]: To: sithu@localhost.com -- Headers: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/html; charset=text/html Return-Path:Sithu &lt;stk@localhost.com&gt; From: Sithu &lt;stk@localhost.com&gt; Reply-To: Sithu &lt;stk@localhost.com&gt; mail() on [D:\xampp\htdocs\....:127]: To: test@localhost.com -- Headers: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/html; charset=text/html Return-Path:admin@localhost.com From: admin@localhost.com Reply-To: admin@localhost.com mail() on [D:\xampp\htdocs\....:127]: To: test@localhost.com -- Headers: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/html; charset=text/html Return-Path:Members &lt;admin@localhost.com&gt; From: Members &lt;admin@localhost.com&gt; Reply-To: Members &lt;admin@localhost.com&gt; </code></pre> <p>I also tried to comment out <strong>sendmail_from</strong>, but no luck. </p> <pre><code>; For Win32 only. ; http://php.net/sendmail-from sendmail_from = postmaster@localhost </code></pre> <p>Any configuration I'm still missing?</p> <p><strong>[Edit]</strong><br> Mercury mail server is running.<br> Whenever I updated <strong>php.ini</strong>, I restarted Apache server.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
