This error indicates that your application is unable to connect with your mail server. you need to check with your mail server, is everything working fine?

you need to check also that you are passing server name and port in right way.

var smptClient = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587)
 {

     EnableSsl = true
 };
  smptClient.Send("[email protected]", "[email protected]", "Testing Email", "testing the email");
