This works, but it's not very performance friendly. Check out client.SendAsync: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x5x13z6h.aspx

An example use case:

 var message = new MailMessage("from", "to", "subject", "body");
 var client = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587)
            {
                Credentials = new NetworkCredential("login", "password"),
                EnableSsl = true
            };
            client.SendCompleted += (s, e) =>
            {
                client.Dispose();
                message.Dispose();
            };
            client.SendAsync(message, null);
