Hey Guys, i Just Installed Mybb On My Website...
Everything Is Working Fine Except This Email Service...

On Mail Settings I Selected SMTP, And i Registered A User On My Website...
Then I Saw My Log,
Unable to connect to the mail server with the given details.<br /><br />110: Connection timed out
It Gave This Error...
All The Information I Entered Over There was Correct...
And With The Same Information, Its Working On Ms Outlook...

There Was Another Option 'PHP MAIL'
I dont Know How To Use That, Can Someone plz Help me out ... ?
If you want to use PHP Mail, try this first. It will test if your server support php mail or not:

Yeah i've Already Tried This...
And it Works ...
So... what's the problem?? Set the mail setting to use PHP mail.
I Dont know How To Do That =/
In Mail Settings, What To Write In php Parameter Or What Ever It Is ...?
Just leave that blank.
Ohk So,
Now What To do .. ? How To Make It Work ..?
Providing PHP mail is active on your server (which it usually is) as long as you have PHP mail selected then it will work. You don't need to do anything else to make it work.
Not Working =/
I Left It Blank...
Give it a little bit of time, sometimes emails take a while to come through with PHP mail I have found. Also make sure PHP mail is enabled by looking at the phpinfo in ACP > Tools & Maintenance > phpinfo, some hosts disable PHP mail to prevent spam. Do your logs say anything?
