  • In your joomla global configuration set these parameters : Mailer= SMTP SMTP Host = smtp.gmail.com, SMTP Port = 465 SMTP Username = your gmail id SMTP Password = and password

  • I assume the use of hMail server means it's a Windows machine. Please confirm. Also, I assume the issue is not actually with the SMTP server but the user database behind it (and not even the Joomla user database), so you're looking for either Windows user password reset or hMail user DB password reset - again, please confirm.

Local hosts do not support emails unless you manually install and configure the required tools, which is quite a fussy task.

Thus, to test your emails, I'd suggest moving your site to a live server instead.

You can try define true smtp account data to send your messages. I do this In my site and never more have problems with messages. All components work perfect now.
