Both are acceptable approaches. Although if it works from home and
not from work (same ISP), I'd think there is something else going wrong.
If it matters, it's a POP account with 'SMTP' in the address... and
Mail.app was actually set to use Port 110.
Err, if it is showing port 110, that is POP, don't change that. You
are looking in the wrong place. To get to the SMTP settings you need
to click the Server Settings button that is below the SMTP Server
address field. From there you can set authentication and alter the
port. I'd check to see if authentication is turned on before trying
anything else.
Also, since you mention that SMTP is in the address, but are looking
at POP info, I'd double check that you have the other account
settings correct. I bet if you check your ISPs support pages, they
will have info on how to configure Apple's Mail to work with their
servers.
