What email provider you use ?, Is it gmail, yahoo mail, hotmail or what ?. Make sure you are enable smtp server with your email provider.

If gmail, SMTP server usually smtp.gmail.com:465.

SMTP login is your email address, and SMTP password is your email password.

I'm using yahoo.
 

Can't be done with yahoo or gmail directly as it requires a secure channel. Mql4 only uses unencrypted.

If I'm not mistaken, I think you need a paid yahoo mail if this is yahoo.com.

Anyway, WHRoeder is right, my MT4 cannot send email, my MT5 can. You may have to hard coded it and use this instead http://www.mt4i.com/appstore/app.aspx?id=17&sort=popularity
