Is your mail server set up?

You should then be able to use your ISP's mail server - make sure your send from email is set to the same as your personal address.
FYI - You may need to authenticate to your ISP's mail server

My guess is that you need to modify your php.ini file with a proper SMTP server.
On Windows installations, you need to setup PHP to connect to a SMTP server in php.ini. Here's what PHP says about it:
*Note*: The Windows implementation of *mail()* differs in many ways from the Unix implementation. First, it doesn't use a local binary for composing messages but only operates on direct sockets which means a /MTA/ is needed listening on a network socket (which can either on the localhost or a remote machine). Second, the custom headers like /From:/, /Cc:/, /Bcc:/ and /Date:/ are /not/ interpreted by the /MTA/ in the first place, but are parsed by PHP. As such, the /to/ parameter should not be an address in the form of "Something someone@example.com". The mail command may not parse this properly while talking with the MTA.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
Alternatively you could also use a module like SMTP, which bypasses PHP's mail function:

I found a mail server to connect to so I updated the php.ini file and I no longer get the "Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25", but now I get the below error:
warning: mail(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/New_York' for '-4.0/DST' instead in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\drupal\includes\mail.inc on line 193.

I recommend adding date.timezone to your php.ini file.
For example:
date.timezone = "America/Anchorage"
Here's a list of timezones:

I have set up both:
SMTP = mail.mywebsite.com smtp_port = 110
within my php.ini file and I no longer get the errors listed in the below email, but no email is received within the users inbox.
Is their a way to debug to see how far the email went before it failed or why it did not make it to the users inbox?

FYI - port 110 is the standard port for POP3. SMTP uses port 25. When you are using port 25 are you sure you are specifying the correct host to connect to? Can the local name service resolve this name properly? Can you connect directly using telnet (to port 25)?

I changed the smtp_port from 110 to 25 within php.ini and now the emails are sent.
At the point that the emails are successfully sent within Drupal I now get a different drupal error message:
