Sending Gmail from a local site

I am using Acquia stack on my localhost (running Vista) and am trying to send emails with no luck. I want to send them via Gmail and try all kinds of settings in the php.ini file. There are no error messages, but no email is delivered. I didn't get a response on the Acquia forum so I was hoping someone here could help. Many thanks.

You need http://drupal.org/project/phpmailer or http://drupal.org/project/smtp because you need to authenticate with Google SMTP.

If you have access to a server on your hosting, you can use MSMTP to completely bypass the internal mailing system (sendmail) and use an external provider at the system level. There is a tutorial here:
