First I will try to explain my problem.
I need to setup an e-commerce site, as a class project. I decided to use xampp in my home computer, with no-ip to solve the problem of dynamic IP. But I could never make e-commerce to send email messages (I followed a lot of hints to use fakemail, but it never worked).
Also, since I need a secure connection, I tried to ask a comodo free trial certificate. At first, I had a problem because they said somebody had already asked a certificate for no-ip.org domain. I opened a ticket and explained the situation, and they fixed it. Then I tried again, and now I must be able to receive an email in admin@mynoipsubdomain.no-ip.org to let them know I am really the admin of that subdomain. Great, so now I ALSO have to be able to receive emails in my computer...
So I read the Mercury manual, I did the few thing I could understand (it was very late at night), and tried to send a message using the File menu, to my gmail account, and it worked fine. I replied the message... but I couldn't receive the reply. I tried to configure Thunderbird to access the admin account, but it didn't find any message. After several test messages, the queue folder have a lot of files, from 0 kb to 32 kb. And the worst thing is my class project is not about configuring a server, it is about setting up the e-commerce site, and that part is halted because I can't make the server use email functions. I am running out of time... so if somebody can help me to solve this problem, I would really apreciate it. I'd love to read the manual and research all the topics I don't know what is it talking about, but I can't do that now...
