  That error means that you've got `sendmail` selected as the mail driver for Craft under Settings->Email in the Control Panel, but the sendmail executable is either not installed or configured properly on your server.
  
  > Also, I don't see the file structure they mention on this article, I found the error log on storage/logs/web.txt.
  
  That's correct... the article was written for Craft 2 and you're using Craft 3. The log paths changed a bit between the two versions.
  
  > I've tried also changing my email to SMTP with Outlook credentials to no avail.
  
  I'm guessing you got a different error then? I'd suggest setting up Craft with a transactional email provider like <https://postmarkapp.com/> or <https://sendgrid.com/>.
  
  There are Craft plugins for each (<https://plugins.craftcms.com/sendgrid> and <https://plugins.craftcms.com/postmark>), they'll be more reliable than sendmail and easier to setup than SMTP.
