Try adding something like this
Per Dominic's answer on Stackoverflow look at he following example
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Mail;
var fromAddress = new MailAddress("[email protected]", "From Name");
var toAddress = new MailAddress("[email protected]", "To Name");
const string fromPassword = "fromPassword";
const string subject = "Subject";
const string body = "Body";
var smtp = new SmtpClient
{
Host = "smtp.gmail.com",
Port = 587,
EnableSsl = true,
DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network,
//UseDefaultCredentials = false,
Credentials = new NetworkCredential(fromAddress.Address, fromPassword)
};
using (var message = new MailMessage(fromAddress, toAddress)
{
Subject = subject,
Body = body
})
{
smtp.Send(message);
}
//----------------- A simple approach below ---------------
I just tested this below and it works
var mail = new MailMessage();
// Set the to and from addresses.
// The from address must be your GMail account
mail.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
mail.To.Add(new MailAddress(to));
// Define the message
mail.Subject = subject;
mail.IsBodyHtml = isHtml;
mail.Body = message;
// Create a new Smpt Client using Google's servers
var mailclient = new SmtpClient();
mailclient.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";//ForGmail
mailclient.Port = 587; //ForGmail
// This is the critical part, you must enable SSL
mailclient.EnableSsl = true;//ForGmail
//mailclient.EnableSsl = false;
mailclient.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
// Specify your authentication details
mailclient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "xxxx123");//ForGmail
mailclient.Send(mail);
mailclient.Dispose();
//The .config settings there are two options on how you could set this up I am suspecting that this is the issue you are having
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="[email protected]" deliveryMethod="Network">
<network userName="[email protected]" password="mypassword" host="smtp.gmail.com" port="587"/>
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>
or option 2
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="smtpClientHost" value="mail.localhost.com"/> //SMTP Client host name
<add key="portNumber" value="587"/>
<add key="fromAddress" value="[email protected]"/>
</appSettings>
</configuration>
userName="[email protected]" password="Mypassword"
