I read this post and I try to add this following line under "Send detailed admin notification email to"
{if(A4.code=="A5","capoxx@gmail.com","")}.
I am sure the question's code is A4 and the triggering answer'c code is A5. I can also see these data in responses. However, I didn't get any notification through email. Could anyone help me detect where might be the issue?
Actually, The email notification just not work in general to me. I tried not set any condition and just enter an email address under "Send basic admin notification email to:" and when I finish a form I don't get any email.
I am currently using the localhost, should I change to SMTP to test for now and change back to PHP in future when it is on my website? I am quite confused here. I am really appreciate if anyone could help me on this.

Joffm, Thank you for the reply! But when I installed XAMPP on mac, I don't find mercury mail inside, only with Apache, MySQL and ProFTPD. How do I add mercury to XAMPP?
I always would use an existing SMTP server over installing and configuring my own email server.
I would never use PHP (just too many problems and most probably your emails will end up in Spam anyway), always go with a good SMTP server. But keep in mind, not every SMTP account allows sending mass emails like invitations. You can quickly run into blocks by your email provider if your smtp account has certain limits.
Help us to help you!
Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).
