Cheers Cash, I'll check and try again. Thanks for the advice... this is where better documentation would huge help... referring back to everyone elses issues and comments etc to find answers is tiresome, especially if the answer can't be found. There has to be a better way...
Administration->Site Administration->Site email address (used when sending system emails) in the backend of my Elgg website is drwebx@gmail.com.
Administration->Tool Administration->phpmailer [Settings] remain the default settings. The item Override default Elgg mail handler is only checked.

I'm not familiar with the SMTP. I don't know where is the problem. Could you help me do some analysis?
@Blue: this error "PHPMailer error: Could not instantiate mail function" tells me that you do not have php configured correctly. There are plenty of web resources for this. Good luck.
After enabling the plugin, I do not see any chnage on my private messages form. Is that where the changes are supposed to appear. I would be greatly appreciated if anyone could guide me a bit.

@Cash
I have enabled the uservalidationbyemail and the phpmailer, but I can't recieve the account validation email.
I'm using Windows 7, XAMPP 1.72 , Elgg 1.6.1 and PHPMailer 0.9.7.
The email related settings in php.ini are:
[mail function]
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
sendmail_from = postmaster@localhost
mail.add_x_header = Off
Administration->Site Administration->Site email address (used when sending system emails) in the backend of my Elgg website is drwebx@gmail.com.
Administration->Tool Administration->phpmailer [Settings] remain the default settings. The item Override default Elgg mail handler is only checked.

@Shouvik: This plugin does not change the user interface of any component in Elgg.
Has anyone written invite friends plugin that checks with php mailer?
