Mail servers are by their very nature located on a host/remote server.
You can use the extensions on the remote server to test email. Make sure
the host has configured the extensions to do so on your account.
If you want to test locally, you must go through the effort of doing a
serious amount of research as to how to purchase a mail server program and
how to properly set it up and configure on a local machine. However, a
local mail server and a remote mail server are two different things, so you
would still have to test the remote server to make sure everything is
working properly.
