Okay. With respect to the send configuration, here's what they
said:
SMTP - For SMTP sending, make sure the circle next to the SMTP
text is filled in by clicking in the circle. Then, fill in
the machine name of your networks mail server and type in the
port number. If you are unsure, use the default port of 25.
POP - To send using the POP Protocol, Type in the POP server,
port, user ID and Password just like on the Receive page.
Authenticate Using (POP) - You can choose one of three
authentication methods. You must have this setting correspond
to the authentication method that your Mail Server is using.
The most common is plain POP Passwords, however some servers
require either APOP or RPA. If you are not sure what to use,
contact your Internet Service Provider.
Most ISPs and mail servers only support SMTP sending of
e-mail. If you get an error, and you are sending via POP, try
to send to the same server via SMTP.

Internet from a remote mail server, most likely you will need
to use POP.
If you want this account to Receive e-mail using the SMTP
Protocol, click on the circle next to the text SMTP and type
in the full hard drive path to the SMTP Inbox. Alternatively,
If you want this account to Receive e-mail using the Post
Office Protocol (POP), click on the circle next to POP and
type in the following information:

I guess that clears things up doesn't it? :)
