Simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) servers are used

you obtain from the service provider of the connection
you use.
Use connection-specific SMTP servers:
—Select this
option if you want to use connection specific SMTP
servers for sending e-mail messages.
Tip: The SMTP host name or IP address may be
different from the host name or IP address of
the incoming server (POP3 or IMAP4). For
example, when you access your internet service
provider e-mail over a cellular network, you
may need to utilize the SMTP server of the
cellular network. Thus, you may need to
configure as many mailboxes as you have
internet access networks, each mailbox having
a different SMTP host name or IP address.
