 * WAMP has known issues while connecting to google to send emails. In previous 
   reports, it was due to the certificate problems.
 * There is nothing that I can advise here, except trying to use some other local
   web-server, like Local by Flywheel, or OSPanel.io (that I personally use).

 * Do you think using XAMPP will do?
