Your smtp settings do not seem correct :

Tools > Account Settings > Outgoing Server (SMTP) (located at the bottom after Local Folders)

select the server name click on 'Edit'

Outgoing Server (SMTP) Description: Mail Server Server Name: mail.mydomain.com.sg - this might need to be smtp.mydomain.com.sg or smtp.mydomain.com Port: 587 connection Security: STARTTLS Authentication method: Normal Password Username: full email address

click on OK to save settings. Click on OK to save chnages to Account Settings.
