Fixed a few typos in the working code above:

MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg.To.Add(new MailAddress("someone@somedomain.com", "SomeOne"));
msg.From = new MailAddress("you@yourdomain.com", "You");
msg.Subject = "This is a Test Mail";
msg.Body = "This is a test message using Exchange OnLine";
msg.IsBodyHtml = true;

SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("your user name", "your password");
client.Port = 587; // You can use Port 25 if 587 is blocked (mine is!)
client.Host = "smtp.office365.com";
client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
client.EnableSsl = true;
try
{
    client.Send(msg);
    lblText.Text = "Message Sent Succesfully";
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    lblText.Text = ex.ToString();
}

I have two web applications using the above code and both work fine without any trouble.
