Answer 1

    Using Systems.Net.Mail;
// POST: /Account/Register
//Here's a simple Mail(MVC4)

        public async Task<ActionResult> Register(RegisterViewModel model)
        {
            Mail email= new Mail();
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                var user = new ApplicationUser() { UserName = model.UserName, Email = model.Email };
                var result = await UserManager.CreateAsync(user, model.Password);
                if (result.Succeeded)
                {
                    email.to = new MailAddress(model.Email);
                    email.body = "Hello " + model.Firstname + " your account has been created <br/> Username: " + model.UserName + " <br/>Password: " + model.Password.ToString() + " <br/> change it on first loggin";
                    ViewBag.Feed = email.reg();


                    await SignInAsync(user, isPersistent: false);


                     return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");

                }
                else
                {
                    AddErrors(result);
                }
            }

            // If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
            return View(model);
        }




//Business Logic(this Is you Email Class)




Using Systems.Net.Mail;


 public class Mail

    {
        public MailAddress to { get; set; }
        public MailAddress from { get; set; }
        public string sub { get; set; }
        public string body { get; set; }




        public string reg()
        {
            string feed = "Registration Successful";
            var m = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage()
            {
                Subject = "",
                Body = body,
                IsBodyHtml = true
            };
            m.From = new MailAddress("Mxolisi@gmail.com  ", "Administrator");
            m.To.Add(to);
            SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient
            {
                Host = "pod51014.outlook.com",
                //Host = "smtp-mail.outlook.com",
                Port = 587,
                Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("Mxolisi@gmail.com ", " Dut324232"),
                EnableSsl = true
            };

            try
            {
                smtp.Send(m);
                // feed = "";
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {

            }

            return feed;

        }
        public string fogot()
        {
            string feedback = "";

            var m = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage()
            {
                Subject = "Reset Password PIN",
                Body = body,
                IsBodyHtml = true
            };
            m.From = new MailAddress("Mxolisi@gmail.com ", "Administrator");
            m.To.Add(to);
            SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient
            {
                Host = "pod51014.outlook.com",
                Port = 587,
                Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("Mxolisi@gmail.com ", "Dut324232"),
                EnableSsl = true
            };

            try
            {
                smtp.Send(m);
                feedback = "Check your email for PIN";
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                feedback = "Message not sent" + e.Message;
            }
            return feedback;

        }

    }
}

Answer 2

when use smtp for gmail, remember put

smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false;

before

smtpClient.Credentials = loginInfo;

Answer 3

It look like you are trying to send emails through GMail's SMTP service, which this SO question already covers: Sending email in .NET through Gmail

The only thing that looks missing in your code is that you've set client.UseDefaultCredentials = true, I think you want to set this to false and provide your own credentials. I've never tried using GMail to send through emails, but I'm guessing you'll need to use a GMail account as your credentials in order to authenticate properly.

Answer 4

Use code from following Link to Send Email in mvc3:

http://weblogs.asp.net/gunnarpeipman/archive/2010/10/20/asp-net-mvc-3-beta-using-webmail-helper-to-send-e-mail.aspx

Answer 5

You should turn on the SMTP service in Window 7 :

• go to Control Panel > Programs
• click "Turn window features ON or OFF"
• click Internet Information Service and click OK

Answer 6

Import the System.Net.Mail namespace.

The code will look similar to this:

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();

SmtpClient smtpServer = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com");
smtpServer.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("userName", "password");
smtpServer.Port = 587; // Gmail works on this port

mail.From = new MailAddress("myemail@gmail.com");
mail.To.Add("recepient@gmail.com");
mail.Subject = "Password recovery";
mail.Body = "Recovering the password";

smtpServer.Send(mail);

P.S. You have a SQL injection vulnerability in the sample code. Use a SqlCommand object with parameters instead of String.Format().

Using SqlDataReader would be a lot more efficient to check for a record instead of populating a DataSet.
