Assuming you're writing a Windows application (Windows Forms, WPF, etc.), then you need to pass a mailto: URI[^] to the Process.Start method:

C#

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("mailto:test@hotmail.com");

If you're writing an ASP.NET application, then you need to use a mailto: link to launch the email client on the user's computer, rather than on the server:

HTML

<a href="mailto:test@hotmail.com">Send an email</a>
