Port The TCP port to connect to the SMTP server. This should normally be 587 but older server may also use 465 (secure) or 25.
Security This can be either None, STARTTLS or TLS/SSL. STARTTLS is the most common setting. This means that the connection is secured only if the sever side supports it.

Account Name The Account Name property is used to log on to the SMTP server.
Password The Password property is used to log on to the SMTP server.
