Sending E-Mail Using C#

Sending E-mail using C#

You could use the System.Net.Mail.MailMessage class of the .NET framework.

You can find the MSDN documentation here.

Here is a simple example (code snippet):

using System.Net;
using System.Net.Mail;
using System.Net.Mime;

...
try
{

   SmtpClient mySmtpClient = new SmtpClient("my.smtp.exampleserver.net");

    // set smtp-client with basicAuthentication
    mySmtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
   System.Net.NetworkCredential basicAuthenticationInfo = new
      System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password");
   mySmtpClient.Credentials = basicAuthenticationInfo;

   // add from,to mailaddresses
   MailAddress from = new MailAddress("test@example.com", "TestFromName");
   MailAddress to = new MailAddress("test2@example.com", "TestToName");
   MailMessage myMail = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage(from, to);

   // add ReplyTo
   MailAddress replyTo = new MailAddress("reply@example.com");
   myMail.ReplyToList.Add(replyTo);

   // set subject and encoding
   myMail.Subject = "Test message";
   myMail.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;

   // set body-message and encoding
   myMail.Body = "<b>Test Mail</b><br>using <b>HTML</b>.";
   myMail.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
   // text or html
   myMail.IsBodyHtml = true;

   mySmtpClient.Send(myMail);
}

catch (SmtpException ex)
{
  throw new ApplicationException
    ("SmtpException has occured: " + ex.Message);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
   throw ex;
}

How to send email in ASP.NET C#

Just go through the below code.

SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient("mail.MyWebsiteDomainName.com", 25);

smtpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("info@MyWebsiteDomainName.com", "myIDPassword");
// smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = true; // uncomment if you don't want to use the network credentials
smtpClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
smtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();

//Setting From , To and CC
mail.From = new MailAddress("info@MyWebsiteDomainName", "MyWeb Site");
mail.To.Add(new MailAddress("info@MyWebsiteDomainName"));
mail.CC.Add(new MailAddress("MyEmailID@gmail.com"));

smtpClient.Send(mail);

Sending email in .NET through Gmail

Be sure to use System.Net.Mail, not the deprecated System.Web.Mail. Doing SSL with System.Web.Mail is a gross mess of hacky extensions.

using System.Net;
using System.Net.Mail;

var fromAddress = new MailAddress("from@gmail.com", "From Name");
var toAddress = new MailAddress("to@example.com", "To Name");
const string fromPassword = "fromPassword";
const string subject = "Subject";
const string body = "Body";

var smtp = new SmtpClient
{
    Host = "smtp.gmail.com",
    Port = 587,
    EnableSsl = true,
    DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network,
    UseDefaultCredentials = false,
    Credentials = new NetworkCredential(fromAddress.Address, fromPassword)
};
using (var message = new MailMessage(fromAddress, toAddress)
{
    Subject = subject,
    Body = body
})
{
    smtp.Send(message);
}

Additionally go to the Google Account > Security page and look at the Signing in to Google > 2-Step Verification setting.

• If it is enabled, then you have to generate a password allowing .NET to bypass the 2-Step Verification. To do this, click on Signing in to Google > App passwords, select app = Mail, and device = Windows Computer, and finally generate the password. Use the generated password in the fromPassword constant instead of your standard Gmail password.
• If it is disabled, then you have to turn on Less secure app access, which is not recommended! So better enable the 2-Step verification.

C# how to send email?

I have worked with three well known ISP’s to host my client’s websites. All three ISP's instructed me to use “localhost” as the smtp server name.

How to send an e-mail with C# through Gmail

Just Go here : Less secure apps , Log on using your Email and Password which use for sending mail in your c# code , and choose Turn On.

Also please go to this link and click on Continue Allow access to your Google account

also I edit it little bit :

public string sendit(string ReciverMail)
{
    MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();

    msg.From = new MailAddress("YourMail@gmail.com");
    msg.To.Add(ReciverMail);
    msg.Subject = "Hello world! " + DateTime.Now.ToString();
    msg.Body = "hi to you ... :)";
    SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
    client.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
    client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
    client.Port = 587;
    client.EnableSsl = true;
    client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
    client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("YourMail@gmail.com", "YourPassword");
    client.Timeout = 20000;
    try
    {
       client.Send(msg);
        return "Mail has been successfully sent!";
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        return "Fail Has error" + ex.Message;
    }
    finally
    {
       msg.Dispose();
    }
}

If the above code don't work , try to change it like the following code :

    SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
    client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
    client.Port = 587;
    client.EnableSsl = true;
    client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
    client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
    client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("YourMail@gmail.com", "YourPassword");

Send email from c#

If the email works in all domains accept gmail. I would check if you have been black listed by gmail.

This doesn't seem like a issue with code.

That message tells you that you've basically have been blocked. I'd suggest not to focus on your code but to focus on what google's response is to you being blocked.
