    Port = 587,
    UseDefau         


        

Answer 1

This worked just fine for me

SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient
    {
        Host = "smtp.gmail.com",
        Port = 587,
        UseDefaultCredentials = false,
        DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network,
        Credentials = new NetworkCredential("myid@gmail.com", "mypassword"),
        EnableSsl = true,
        Timeout = 10000
    };

    MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
    message.Body = "hello there";
    message.Subject = "hi!!";
    message.To.Add("myid@gmail.com");
    message.From = new MailAddress("myid@gmail.com");
    smtp.Send(message);
