Greg proposed the following answer:
Windows doesn't provide a mail sending server (aka smtp), so you must use an external one. It could be very different depending on your situation:
- if you are on a corporate network, your IT probably has one, so ask your administrator for the correct parameters
- if you are on a small network or at home, you can use your ISP server, ask your ISP for the correct parameters
- you can also use gmail if you have a gmail account

Please note that your connection to internet (whatever it's a corporate
network or a home connection) is likely to filter out smtp connection
except for the authorized server, so you must find out which are the
correct parameters in your case. Also note that most smtp server require
that you provide credentials (usually your email login + password).

As an alternate (and better) option, you can use a linux operating
system which provides a smtp server locally.
