From avast help file (Settings):

Quote

"SMTP" Page

On this page, you can specify your SMTP server parameters. avast! uses these settings to send e-mail messages, especially when:

Sending warning messages when a virus has been found.
Sending files from the Chest to ALWIL Software.
Sending avast! crash reports to ALWIL Software.
You should enter the following information:

Server address - the address of the outgoing e-mail server (e.g. smtp.server.com or 192.168.1.25).
Port - the port number (the default is 25).
From address - address of the sender ("From").

Remember, these settings are used when an e-mail is sent from the avast program, so they have no effect on your e-mail virus protection.

The picture is small by design, click on it and it expands, this keeps the topic tidy so those who need to see it click on it to expand tp the normal size. I would also suggest that when posting images, crop the background so you only have the important bit displayed. This keeps the file size down and avoids the need to scroll.

Is there any connection between the first screenshot and the second, as I don't see it.

In the first image where you have indicated the SMTP Settings, these details you get this information from your email programs default email account and enter it in the boxes. If your server requires authentication (also indicated in your email program, default account) then you need to tick the box and enter the User name and Password.

I haven't got any idea what the second image in the second post is about.
