The following piece of code will let you send email using the Google server. Just replace the network credentials with your Google user name and password.
try
{
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587);
smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
smtp.EnableSsl = true;
smtp.Send("sender@gamil.com", "receiver", "subject", "Email Body");
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
try
{
MailAddress mailfrom = new MailAddress("sender@gmail.com");
MailAddress mailto = new MailAddress("receiver@abc.com");
MailMessage newmsg = new MailMessage(mailfrom, mailto);
newmsg.Subject = "Subject of Email";
newmsg.Body = "Body(message) of email";
Attachment att = new Attachment("C:\\...file path");
newmsg.Attachments.Add(att);
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587);
smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username","password");
smtp.EnableSsl = true;
smtp.Send(newmsg);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
Note: Before providing the credentials, you need to set UserDefaultCredentials
to false
. The above mentioned settings are for Gmail,
but you can also use other SMTP servers like Yahoo!
