following type of encrypted connection, select TLS.

unable to send mail with the SMTP port set to 587, you can try setting
the outgoing port back to 25. Some ISPs block port 25, however, and if
you cannot send mail either way, you should contact your ISP to see if
they will enable one of those ports for your account. Also, whenever

change to take effect.
