Anyone can help me set it up so that I can send order emails?
I have already tried configuring an extension SMTP Pro with my gmail account and the test works, but when I try sending an order email, it just notifies me that its already sent. but I don't receive any emails.

You can send email from localhost with minimum configuration.
Please check below steps to send an email from localhost.
In the sendmail.ini file (C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.ini), make the following changes:
t's very easy to configure php.ini for sending e-mails from your server.You just need to configure php.ini and sendmail.ini correctly.
First you have to configure sendmail_path in your php.ini file it should have to point to executable sendmail file with proper flags
for example , ;sendmail_path = "\"C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t" (which is already in your php.ini file need to just remove comment) and other assignments to sendmail_path need to be commented.
after configuring php.ini file you need to configure sendmail.ini file ,in that
first smtp_server=mail.gmail.com (as you want to use gmail as smtp server), second smtp_port=465 (if not worked try 587), third auth_username= yourid@gmail.com auth_password=yourpassword
after this restart your server.
I hope this will help you.
