  ->setUsername('your username')
  ->setPassword('your password')
;

// Create the Mailer using your created Transport
$mailer = new Swift_Mailer($transport);

// Create a message
$message = (new Swift_Message('Wonderful Subject'))
  ->setFrom(['[email protected]' => 'John Doe'])
  ->setTo(['[email protected]', '[email protected]' => 'A name'])
