587 is, I believe, the usual "alternate" SMTP port number, for use with gmail, 
1&1 etc. accounts with ISPs who block outgoing port 25.

When the outgoing SMTP server, port number, user ID and password are set up, 
go to the Security tab, click on the "Check what the server supports" button 
and it should just sort itself out.
