COuld you develop a basic webservice ... that takes:
to , from , subject , body
as parameters. And code up your app to call this web service to send
emails.
Or even very basic credential info.
to, from, subject, body, senderUserName , senderPassword
..............
Can you encrypt the Gmail (for example )account info?
............
also check my blog entry:
you could encrypt gmail credentials.... and have "backup" smtp servers:

Smarter Email/Smtp setup with DotNet Configuration Sections (1.1 and 2.0)

Hi.
I would like to let users send bug reports or other messages to me.
Maybe the easiest way to send e-mails from my application is just use
the default e-mail agent by executing a link
mailto://my****@domail.com.
But this only works if the user has configured Outlook or something.
Many users use web-based mails here so if I do so, Outlook Express's a
new account wizard will pop-up. Futhure more this reveals user e-mails.
Some people want to be anonymous .
The second choise is to use SMTPClient. But to do so, either I have an
SMTP server that doesn't require login (I don't know any free SMTP
server like this) or should put my SMTP login information (for example,
my gmail credential) into the application. Of course, I don't want my
e-mail credential is embedded into the application.
I just want to send a simple text-based e-mail directly from the user's
computer like many other applications. I searched the internet but all
examples are based on the SMTPClient class. I found some direct sending
examples but they used commercial library (which is not free).
So, I've got to buy a library to send E-mail without SMTP client? Or is
there any free library? I just want to send very simple text-based
e-mails.
Thank you.
