Hi check the below code try { MailMessage mail = new MailMessage (); mail.To.Add("myemaiulid"); mail.From = new MailAddress ( "yourgmailid@gmail.com" ); mail.Subject = "Hi"; string Body = "This is body of email"; mail.Body = Body; mail.IsBodyHtml = true ; SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient (); smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com" ; //SMTP Server Address of gmail smtp.Port = 587; smtp.Credentials = new System.Net. NetworkCredential ( "yourgmailid@gmail.com" , "password" ); // Smtp Email ID and Password For authentication smtp.EnableSsl = true ; smtp.Send(mail); Console.WriteLine( "Your Message Send Successfully.") ; Console.ReadLine(); } catch { Console.WriteLine( "Error............") ; } For detail check the link http://www.aspdotnet-pools.com/2016/08/send-mail-in-aspnet-c-using-gmail.html Send Mail In Asp.Net C# Using Gmail

Hi That error message is typically caused by one of the following: Incorrect connection settings, such as the wrong port specified for the secured or non-secured connection Incorrect credentials. I would verify the username and password combination, to make sure the credentials are correct. Please ensure these things and try again.
