from all the research i have done for this issue, the problem is that the connection isn't actually opening. Some searches I have done suggest that the particular port you are using might be closed off at the OS or the Firewall. Also, the mailClient.Credentials might need something extra beyond a username/password. perhaps you can only READ emails from the GMAIL SMTP server and not actually send through this type of transport. It's hard to say since I generally use my ISP host's SMTP server to send email (some block sending though a network not of their making, like Charter communications, to prevent people using their service as SPAM machines).

are you building a spam machine?

Thanks for your advise and I modified the code as what you told me. Unfortunately, I've got this error. Could you tell me how to fix it out?

you may need to make some more settings changes to your mailClient object, based on what I see in your gmail configuration (SSL and PORT)

mailClient.Port = 995;
mailClient.EnableSsl = true;

I'd like to send email from my ecommerce web by using a Gmail but I don't know how to modify the code(I didn't write it myself). Thanks for your help.

This's the code :

// Generic method for sending emails
    public static void SendMail(string from, string to, string subject, string body)
    {
        // Configure mail client (may need additional code for authenticated SMTP servers)
        SmtpClient mailClient = new SmtpClient(ABCConfiguration.MailServer);
        NetworkCredential nc = new NetworkCredential("abc@gmail.com", "1234");
        mailClient.Credentials = nc;
        // Create the mail message
        MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage("abc@gmail.com", to, subject, body);
        // Send mail
        mailClient.Send(mailMessage);
    }

In web.config

This's gmail configuration :

Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL: pop.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587
