 When I try to send a test email from the Global Settings area I get: Could not instantiate mail function.

I have disabled Admin tools by renaming the .htaccess files and I am able to send an email just fine.

My mail settings are:

Mailer: PHP Mail
Send Email: Yes
Disable Mass Mail: No

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I just tried and everything is working fine.
Let's do a quick check: please replace your .htaccess file with Joomla default one (it should be named htaccess.txt), then disable Admin Tools system plugin.
Can you send any email or you have the same problem?
