Never received email

I am using MAMP locally and sending it to my hotmail.

It says it was successfully sent, but I never received the email.

MAMP and WAMP and other localhost environments don't have this functionality set up by default.

There are ways to set it up but most likely there is nothing wrong with your actual code. It would more than likely work from a hosted server.

Google "email from localhost" and you'll get more info.
