Name | Enter the name of the email sender (for example, your name). This name appears in the From field of your outgoing messages. |
E-mail Address | Enter the email address from which outgoing mail will be sent (for example, Me@MyCompany.com). |
Reply-To Address | Enter the email address to which incoming replies will be sent. This can be different from the outgoing address (for example, You@MyCompany.com). If you do not enter a reply-to address, replies will be sent to the outgoing address. |

Port | Keep the default 25, or enter a different number (such as X.400), to specify the port number to connect to on the SMTP server. |
Connection encryption | Choose None if you do not need a secure connection, choose SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) if your email requires a secure connection, or choose TLS (Transport Layer Security) to allow both secure and insecure connections over the same port (the actual connection encryption depends on the SMTP server’s configuration). |
Authentication | Keep the default None (to require no login authentication on the SMTP server), or choose Plain Password (for no password encryption) or Cram‑MD5 (for password encryption). |
User Name | (Available if you choose Plain Password or Cram-MD5 authentication.) Enter a user ID to authenticate the user on the SMTP server. Users must enter the correct name and password to send mail on this server. |
