wellllllllll, the options you have removed basically send your email over a secure channel with authentication and the worst that can happen with them removed is that somebody intercepts and reads your emails.

That being said, there is no reason why you shouldn't use them, it is easier enough to configure and should work. I don't know if macs use the same ports as PCs but on mine i have got the boxes ticked for " my server requires authenication" and put in my VM password (case sensitive) and with regards to the server port numbers (with the SSL options selected) you need to change them to 465 for smtp and 995 for pop3/imap4. If you get that right it should work no problemo.
