Answer 1

I have really looked at a lot of ideas, the only solution was this way (works with different email Providers):

            try
        {
            ViewProgressbar("Try to connect mail-server...", progressBar1.Value = 20);
            string host = dsProvider.Rows[y]["POP_hostOut"].ToString();
            int port = int.Parse(dsProvider.Rows[y]["POP_portOut"].ToString());  //587
            string[] email = von1.Split('@');
            string userName = (dsProvider.Rows[y]["login"].ToString() == "email[0]@email[1]")? email[0]+"@"+email[1] : email[0];
            string password = layer.getUserPassword(listSender.SelectedValue.ToString());
            SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(host, port);
            client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
            client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
            //A idea from MSDN but it not works. You got "The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required."
            //System.Net.NetworkCredential myCreds = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(userName, password, host);
            //System.Net.CredentialCache cache = new System.Net.CredentialCache();
            //cache.Add(host, port, "NTLM", myCreds);
            ///cache.GetCredential(host, port, "NTLM");   //NTLM
            client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(userName, password);
            client.Host = host;
            client.Port = port;
            client.EnableSsl = true;
            client.Send(message);
            ViewProgressbar();
        }
        catch (SmtpException ex)...
