There is no IMAP Server running on localhost (thats the error reason). Probably you do not have installed any IMAP Server on your PC (Xampp does NOT install an IMAP server).

Instead of localhost you should connect to any known IMAP Server, for example from Google GMAIL or so. See the Google Gmail Documentation for valid Server credentials (i.e. Servername, Port etc.). Finally you have to apply a valid username and password, these are also part of any Gmail Account (simply create your own email account on Google).

But why not simply create your own account on Google and try with that?

Some Time Ago I Were Able To Create 2 Account In Mercury32, For Example: Configuration-> Manage Local User -> Add Account. Then Send Email There In Control Panel And Use Squirrelmail To Login To The Inbox And View The Email. My Question Is: Were There Any Program That Was Recieving That Email Not Imap?
