Mail Settings for SendGrid using AppHarbor

Question

I'm trying to set up email sending for my ASP.NET MVC4 project using SendGrid and AppHarbor. I know AppHarbor injects the relevant SMTP configuration in my application's configuration, but I want to send email locally for testing. I therefore need to know the correct mailSettings to manually add these settings to my application.

Here is what I have so far:

<network host="smtp.sendgrid.net" port="587" enableSsl="true" defaultCredentials="false" password="XXXX" userName="XXX@apphb.com"></network>  

I keep getting the error "Failure Sending Email". I copied the username from my SendGrid account, but I'm not sure what to use for the password.
