Hello, this is my first post here :-)

I run a website localhost with XAMPP 1.7.1 and Joomla. Mercurymail 4.6. I do not wanna use my ISP for SMTP I'll use MercuryMail.[/quote]

That means you are using MercuryE and not MercuryC for outgoing mail

[quote]I need to use the SMTP host (I need to enter it in a config file; what I have to write there?) of my mail server in another application.

Where I may find it in the settings? After having read the post in the forum I guess it may be my IP. Am I right?[/quote]

Is the application expecting a name or an IP address?  If it is running on the same machine, use localhost or 127.0.0.1, otherwise use the appropriate name or address.

I think that's a machine/network configuration issue.  Not Mercury

Thank you.

P.S.: I attached config file.
