Hi,

I have a website hosted in "freewebhostingarea"
They allow mail() PHP function.
I need to install an email account so i can send receive emails.

What is the easiest FREE way to do it. Like installing a free code in it, etc...?
Is there any free email server codes available?

Thank you

First of all, consult webhosting provider documentation. As I see, they don't provide email server, you need to use the google one, or an other third party provider.

Look at this tutorial for a more advanced use with gmail as smtp server: https://forums.digitalpoint.com/threads/how-to-use-gmail-to-send-emails-in-php-using-phpmailer.871893/[^]

But you can not install an email account - that's a nonsense.
