shatadal,
Apparently your ISP does not use Authentication for SMTP.
IN OE on the Server page in the Accounts menu, uncheck the “log on using password authentication box, the My server requires authentication”
Then, go into the Settings menu from the same page, and uncheck “Log on using Secure Authentication”
Try the format #smtp.isp.com alone.
Then you can try checking the box “use the same settings as POP”
Let me know what happens. This is only a configuration problem with your ISP and AVAST. We will get it working.
I have fixed far more “dastardly” ISP configurations in the past. ;D
