I am not sure if you are using Windows 8 but if you do you must do the following -

1 ) In PHP.ini, make the email part look like this

; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with an SMTP Server like Mercury
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 465

; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/sendmail-from
;sendmail_from = 

; XAMPP IMPORTANT NOTE (1): If XAMPP is installed in a base directory with spaces (e.g. c:\program filesC:\xampp) fakemail and mailtodisk do not work correctly.
; XAMPP IMPORTANT NOTE (2): In this case please copy the sendmail or mailtodisk folder in your root folder (e.g. C:\sendmail) and use this for sendmail_path.  
; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with fakemail for forwarding to your mailbox (sendmail.exe in the sendmail folder)
sendmail_path = "C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t"

; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with mailToDisk, It writes all mails in the C:\xampp\mailoutput folder
;sendmail_path="C:\xampp\mailtodisk\mailtodisk.exe"

; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
;mail.force_extra_parameters =

; Add X-PHP-Originating-Script: that will include uid of the script followed by the filename
mail.add_x_header=on

2 ) Make sendmail.ini smtp part look like this

smtp_server=localhost

; smtp port (normally 25)

smtp_port=25

; SMTPS (SSL) support
;   auto = use SSL for port 465, otherwise try to use TLS
;   ssl  = alway use SSL
;   tls  = always use TLS
;   none = never try to use SSL

smtp_ssl=none

; if your smtp server requires authentication, modify the following two lines

[email protected]
auth_password=password

3 ) Download Stunnel https://www.stunnel.org/downloads.html and make the following channges in stunnel.conf. Stunnel is running in the tray, everytime you make changes, right-click the Stunnel icon and Reload the conf file.

cert = stunnel.pem
socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1
socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1
key = stunnel.pem
[ssmtp]
accept  = 465
connect = 25
[gmail-smtp]
client = yes
accept = 127.0.0.1:25
connect = smtp.gmail.com:465
; To check logs you can enable logging using following lines
debug = 7

4 ) Go to your Sendmail folder, righclick sendmail.exe -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Click the Make changes for all users button -> Select Windows XP (Service Pack 3) compatibility and tick Run as admin.

5 ) Always start XAMPP as admin!!

This is only needed on Windows 8+ (fex. on Windows 2008 R2 I only needed to properly aim sendmail to gmail and everything was working).
