You have specified the deliveryMethod to be SpecifiedPickupDirectory this makes it not send the mail actually. Instead it saves on your hard disc in the folder you mentioned. Set it to network and it will send the email. You also need to setup the password and the username along with port number and host.

For more details on sending mail, check out the MSDN article, here[^].
