Answer 1

If you're on Windows/using something like WAMP/UWAMP/XAMPP and need to test mail then Papercut is well worth a look:

You can leave your SMTP settings in php.ini as the defaults (localhost/25) and it just works. It looks like an email client and shows all the parts of/details of a message in separate sections.
