After replacing the Mail code with the code Daniel provided (thank you Daniel) I still had no luck getting mail out.
After checking all my settings both on OCart and my host (bluehost) who requires smtp authorization. Without any success, I decided to try changing the seatings in OCart to "MAIL" insted of "SMTP".
BINGO!! this worked. Why it worked I do not know?
So if anyone is still struggling with outgoing email try changing the setting found in
Admin -> Configuration -> Setting -> Mail
Good Luck

It worked after I changed the mail.php code and change it from "smtp" to "mail" in the backend.

why don't you use the standard mail function?
you only need smtp if the standard php mail function has been disabled!
seriously your host requires you to use smtp for you to send mails from your web server? I don't think so unless its a free host!

Yes, it does require that. On top of that - does it matter whether this is so or not? There appear to be a bug. The bug won't disappear just because of opinions. The fix appears to be for Google Mail (where you apparently can choose other ports for SMTP), but not everyone runs Google Mail.
(in order not to appear as a complainer/whiner I must stress that I think that OpenCart is probably the best webshop software that I have seen sofar, the mail bug is just very annoying and prevents me from using OC)

The fix should work for other mail servers aswell.
the is a standard protcal spec on how mail should be sent.

...but partially because of this I will swap supplier to another company where this will work. I need to use OC.

I tried the same thing at another supplier and yes, it works - kind of. Due to that they need to handle several different customers, they need to set "Sender" to my web account name which is no the same as the mail address I prefer to use for my webshop, they also supply a "Reply-to" address which is the admin mailaddress for OpenCart. This means that the sendout of the mail doesn't look very "professional".
I have used a CMS system for quite many years, it's called e107 (e107.org). I have _never_ had any problems with that system's mail setup. On the contrary. Today I installed it at my latest web hosting company just to see if it works there too and it does. e107 handles SMTP and "Mail" (=the settings in php.ini?) as it should and no problem arises.
So in all, I still think this is a bug.
Just thought I should let you know. If I were any good at PHP I would copy the code of e107 and adjust it to OpenCart, but I am not. Sorry.

Maybe there can be such opinions, but the fact remains. In fact I actually see SMTP as the more "professional" way of treating the mail handling, SMTP keeps me in control, if I use the other option I let others have the control I should have, but that's just my opinion.
Please don't take this wrong. I do think OpenCart is a superior cart software. It's just the mail that doesn't work the way it should, IMHO.
I guess I just have to get better in PHP and rip the code from e107 and adjust it to OpenCart.

I am having a look at the e107 code right now and I can conclude that they have got their code from phpBB.

usign SMTP is not professional at all. You are more likly to have you mails rejected by servers as spam.
Did you try the updated code I sent?

Hi All,
I faced the same problem as any others faced. I appreciate anyone can speed up with an solution. As you know email notification is one of the most important features in the system to create communication with our customers.
Thanks and appreciated.
