Answer 1

Here's a basic GMAIL smtp email implementation I wrote a while ago:

public static bool SendGmail(string subject, string content, string[] recipients, string from)
{
    bool success = recipients != null && recipients.Length > 0;

    if (success)
    {
        SmtpClient gmailClient = new SmtpClient
        {
            Host = "smtp.gmail.com",
            Port = 587,
            EnableSsl = true,
            UseDefaultCredentials = false,
            Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("******", "*****") //you need to add some valid gmail account credentials to authenticate with gmails SMTP server.
        };


        using (MailMessage gMessage = new MailMessage(from, recipients[0], subject, content))
        {
            for (int i = 1; i < recipients.Length; i++)
                gMessage.To.Add(recipients[i]);

            try
            {
                gmailClient.Send(gMessage);
                success = true;
            }
            catch (Exception) { success = false; }
        }
    }
    return success;
}

It should work fine for you, but you'll need to add a valid gmail acocunt where I've marked in the code.
