| 1 | Server | | The SMTP mail server name (e.g. stmp.gmail.com). Ask your IT person or Internet Service Provider for the name of your organization's outgoing mail server. NewViews needs the name of a valid SMTP email server to transmit email. | |
| 2 | Port | <F3> | The mail server's port number. The default Simple Mail Transfer port number is 25. | |
| 3 | TLS enabled | <F3> | yes | Turns on Transport Layer Security (supports the RFC 3207 TLS extension). This is recommended. |
| no | Do not use TLS (Transport Layer Security) while sending email. | |||

| 5 | Password | | A valid email account username password is required for connection authentication. | |
| 6 | Client (hostname) | | The hostname that is used when connecting to the server. You can try leaving this field blank, in which case the default is either localhost (if one of the servers is localhost), or is set to the string returned by the tcl command info hostname. | |
