The Mercury Mail package in xampp for windows is a great way to start sending emails from openemr or any open source CMS program placed in xampp. The configuration is easy, just need to follow the steps:

Obtaining Mercury Mail

If not using XAMPP, but still want to use mercury mail, you can get it from here http://www.pmail.com/downloads_s3_t.htm

Steps of Configuration

1. After downloading Mercury Mail and installing it or if using Xampp, you can find it in C:/xampp/MercuryMail, run the program

2. First of all we disable the HTTP server of Mercury so that it doesn't conflict with the apache.

3. In the open Mercury panel, Go to "Configuration" -> "Protocol modules"

4. Disable the check "MercuryB HTTP web server" and also disable "Mercury IMAP4rev1 server" because It won't be required.
