#MailHog example page
**MailHog** is an email testing tool for developers.
It gives the developer the option to **intercept** and **inspect** the emails sent by his application.
You can download the MailHog Windows client from one of the links below.
- [Windows(x64) client](https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog/releases/download/v0.2.1/MailHog_windows_amd64.exe)
- [Windows(x86) client](https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog/releases/download/v0.2.1/MailHog_windows_386.exe)
The only configurations necessary for Apache are located into the **php.ini**
Put the downloaded file into, for example: `C:/xampp/sendmail/mailhog.exe`
Then open the **php.ini** and change the lines like below:
- smtp_port = 1025
- sendmail_path = "C:/xampp/sendmail/mailhog.exe sendmail"
After changing the configurations in **php.ini** remmember to **restart apache**.
Then run **mailhog.exe** and visit [http://localhost:8025/](http://localhost:8025/) in your browser!
Every email sent by localhost will now be redirected to **MailHog** and you can inspect it in [http://localhost:8025/](http://localhost:8025/)
