how to send instant e-mails using .net?

[NitinSawant]

I'm using fillowing code to send e-mail but it throws exception with message: Failure sending mail.

try{
            String emailTitle ="My Email Title";
            System.Net.Mail.MailMessage emailMessage;
            String body = "This will appear in the body of my email";
            emailMessage = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage("[e-mail]", "[e-mail]", emailTitle, body);
            SmtpClient mailClient = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 25);
            //25 is the port on which the mail server is listening.  If your mail server
            //runs on the default port this number does not need to be provided
 
 
            //If you do not need to provide credentials to connect to the mail server you can ignore the next 3 lines
            //NetworkCredential myCredentials =NetworkCredential(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("EmailUserName"), System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("EmailPassword"));
            NetworkCredential myCredentials =new NetworkCredential("myusername","password");
            mailClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
            mailClient.Credentials = myCredentials;
            mailClient.Send(emailMessage);
            Label1.Text = "Sent";
         }
        catch(Exception ex)
        {
            Label1.Text = ex.Message + "";
        }

@Nitin646
What do you mean by an "instant" email?

Does gmail require SSL? I notice you have no setting for that

            myMailClient.EnableSsl = false;
 

You might also want to try using port 587 instead of port 25. Maybe your ISP has port25 blocking turned on.

Otherwise everything you have there looks just like how I do it in my app. (not using gmail, though)

I would take all your working settings that succeed in Outlook for sending via gmail and make sure you have everyone accounted for and duplicated in code.

For GMAIL:
You need to log into gmail and enable smtp for the account you wish to use.
You need to use SSL
You need to use a special port

Hi Nitin646,
were you able to send mail using gmail? I am also facing the same problem while trying to send mail. I tried sending mail using IIS but all the message are getting stuck in the queue folder.
Any ideas/suggestions will be appreciated.
Thnx
