using (var client = new SmtpClient("smtp.mail.yahoo.com", 587)){ client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "mypwd"); var mail = new MailMessage(); mail.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]"); mail.To.Add("[email protected]"); mail.Subject = "Test mail"; mail.Body = "test body"; client.Send(mail);}

Note: In earlier version of .NET Framework, SmtpClient has not implement IDisposable. Therefore, you can't useUsing to declare it.

Sending email from Gmail:


using (var client = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587)){ client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "mypwd"); var mail = new MailMessage(); ... ... client.EnableSsl = true; client.Send(mail);}

Sending email from Hotmail / Windows Live Mail


using (var client = new SmtpClient("smtp.live.com", 587)){ client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "mypwd"); var mail = new MailMessage(); ... ... client.EnableSsl = true; client.Send(mail);}
