Note: If you Intend travelling abroad - it is a common practise for some ISPs to block port 25 ( Hence you cannot send mail while outside the UK from Tablets and Phones) . If this is the case - you are better off to choose Port 587 for the Outgoing Server ( SMTP) which is less commonly blocked abroad and also willsend mails with no problems in the UK *

Do not tick the "This server requires and encrypted connection (SSL) as the SSL is applied to the whole of your site already**
