Send an email over the SIM connection

Send an email through an SMTP server over the SIM's data connection, to verify that email sending works from the mobile network.

SMTP is the protocol used to send email. Use this action to confirm that mail goes out from the mobile network, where the carrier may filter SMTP traffic or put many subscribers behind one shared public address (carrier-grade NAT).
