The specific address of the SMTP server.

Username
The username of the email account to connect to.
Password
The password of the email account to connect to.
SSL
Controls whether TLS/SSL is used when sending email from an SMTP server. Before using this setting first check to determine if your SMTP server can accept TLS/SSL connections. When SSL is enabled ensure to set the Port value to the SSL/SSL SMTP port number, which is typically 465.
TLS
When enabled an unencrypted connection (typically on port 25) is automatically converted to a secure TLS connection (typically port 995).
If this is selected then SSL should not be selected.
