Select wether HESK should send emails usign PHP mail() function or using a manually setup SMTP server.

SMTP Port - your SMTP port, usually 25
SMTP Timeout - SMTP timeout in seconds
SMTP Username - your SMTP username (if used)
SMTP Password - your SMTP password (if used)
Server time offset
If your server time differs from your local time you can set the time difference here. Examples:
server time: 12:30, local time: 13:30, set hours to 1 and minutes to 0
server time: 12:30, local time: 14:45, set hours to 2 and minutes to 15
server time: 12:30, local time: 09:30, set hours to -3 and minutes to 0
server time: 12:30, local time: 11:00, set hours to -1 and minutes to -30
