Greetz,

You seems little confused about this configurations.

1) Make change inside repository.properties inside WEB-INF\classes\alfresco..
find out following properties

mail.host=<your machine ip>  if local  its localhost
mail.port=25
mail.username=anonymous
mail.password=‍‍‍‍

If you are running locally on linux there is no change except mail.host=localhost remains are as it is.

2)
      Configure your mail server properly.
     http://www.jennings.homelinux.net/mailserver_config.html

     you can check if your service is running properly by
     service fetchmail status/start/stop

You will find something helpful by trying above things..

-Thanks

Ghanshyam, you are my hero! 😃 Thank you.
I tried so many things, made it more complicated than it actually is. But without your help I would have resignated.
Hope this is also useful to other starters.
Have a good one! ..and thanks again.
