Hidden away in an old backup on my network-attached disk drive I have 
just managed to find a copy of the PDF version of the TP manual, so by 
referring to that I can hopefully offer more help. In the "Sending email 
(by SMTP" section, for Mail gateway you want 127.0.0.1 Then click on 
Password, and ensure the "Logon using" box is ticked, and ensure that 
the user name and password as required by Zen's email server has been 
supplied. If you've changed anything then click on OK. There doesn't 
seem to be anything in that section to set the port, but I think that TP 
uses 25 by default for SMTP outbound mail.
