Is there a way that I can configure the WAMP server for PHP to enable the mail() function?

Configuring a working email client from localhost is quite a chore, I have spent hours of frustration attempting it. I'm sure someone more experienced may be able to help, or they may perhaps agree with me.

If you just want to test, here is a great tool for testing mail locally, that requires almost no configuration:

It worked right off the bat for me, hope this helps you.
