Email configuration doesn't work?

I want to apologize for double posting this, but I needed to get a bit more visibility on this issue.

As far as I can tell I have set up the email configuration settings correctly, but the configuration changes seem to not be taking hold.

If you can notice anything I am doing incorrectly, please let me know. I have not fully concluded this to be a bug as of yet, coupled with no one else having the issue.
