I\'m having trouble sending email using my gmail account. Im pulling my hair out.
The same settings work fine in Thunderbird.
Here\'s the code. I\'ve also tr
This works, but it's not very performance friendly. Check out client.SendAsync: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x5x13z6h.aspx
An example use case:
var message = new MailMessage("from", "to", "subject", "body");
var client = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587)
{
Credentials = new NetworkCredential("login", "password"),
EnableSsl = true
};
client.SendCompleted += (s, e) =>
{
client.Dispose();
message.Dispose();
};
client.SendAsync(message, null);
It works fine in my case:
private void btnTestConnection_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
btnTestConnection.Enabled = false;
SmtpClient ss = new SmtpClient(txtSmtpHostName.Text.Trim(), Convert.ToInt32(numSmtpHostPort.Value));
ss.EnableSsl = chkSmtpSecureType.Checked;
ss.Timeout = 10000;
ss.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
ss.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
ss.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(txtSmtpAccount.Text.Trim(), txtSmtpPassword.Text);
MailMessage mm = new MailMessage(txtSmtpFromEmail.Text.Trim(), "test@domain.com", "subject", "my body");
mm.BodyEncoding = UTF8Encoding.UTF8;
mm.DeliveryNotificationOptions = DeliveryNotificationOptions.OnFailure;
ss.SendCompleted += (s, b) =>
{
ss.Dispose();
mm.Dispose();
};
try
{
ss.Send(mm);
ss.Dispose();
mm.Dispose();
MessageBox.Show("Connection successfully");
}
catch (Exception ep)
{
MessageBox.Show("Connection error: " + ep.Message, "Smtp Connection Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
}
btnTestConnection.Enabled = true;
}
Stackoverflow said before
In your case it means you have to send it with the email address you logged into Google with.
Stackoverflow also says
So maybe there's a firewall that interferes with the connection. I'm encountering this problem right now while testing your code. Try the suggested TELNET-Test.
This work's perfectly.
Create a mail Template in a separate file MailTemplate.html
.
Add genuine NetworkCredentials - login and Password
private void SendMail()
{
string filename = Server.MapPath("~/MailTemplate.html");
string username = UserName.Text.ToString();
string mailbody = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(filename);
mailbody = mailbody.Replace("##NAME##", username);
string to = Email.Text;
string from = "test@gmail.com";
MailMessage message = new MailMessage(from, to);
message.Subject = "Auto Response Email";
message.Body = mailbody;
message.BodyEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
message.IsBodyHtml = true;
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587);
System.Net.NetworkCredential basicCredential = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("test@gmail.com", "test123#");
client.EnableSsl = true;
client.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
client.Credentials = basicCredential;
try
{
client.Send(message);
SuccessMessage.Text = "Email Sending successfully";
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
ErrorMessage.Text = ex.Message.ToString();
}
}
MailTemplate.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<div style="border: thin solid #0066FF; width: 550px; margin: 25px auto; padding: 15px; font-family: 'Microsoft Himalaya'; font-size: x-large; font-style: normal; color: #0066FF; background-color: #EfEFF2;">
<br />
<p style="vertical-align: middle">Dear ##NAME##,</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Work for me only with port 25.
I can verify that setting UseDefaultCredentials to false MUST be done before the NetworkCredentials is created. I had the same problem.
