I have installed WAMP Server on my Windows 10 PC and when I try to send emails through a valid SMTP configuration it doesn't work. The same SMTP configuration works on another LAMP installation and also on a live server.
When I try sending the email through a PrestaShop installation I get following error:
Error: Please check your configuration
Connection could not be established with host smtp.gmail.com [ #0]
And with Magento I get following error:
SMTP Pro Self Test Results
Sending test email to your contact form address: xxxxxxx@example.com from: xxx.adsxx@example.com. Unable to send test email.
Exception message was: Could not open socket
Please check the user guide for frequent error messages and their solutions.
Default templates exist.
Email communications are enabled.
As per my understanding, this issue is not dependent on Magento or PrestaShop, it is coming because of the WAMP installation.
Do I have to enable some extension or something for the WAMP installation? Or have I missed something else?
Please help. Already wasted a lot of time investigating and trying solutions from the Web, but nothing seems to be working.
