Sending email in .NET through Gmail
How do you send email from a Java app using Gmail?

Here I’m trying to send an e-mail alert from my asp application. Most of the people said that it is very easy to send e mail using SQL server’s mail functionality. But unfortunately I’m currently running SQL Server 2008 Express edition and it hasn’t mail facilities. Please anyone help me to send e-mail using g-mail.

            using System.Net.Mail;
            using System.Net;
            var fromAddress = new MailAddress("[e-mail]", "From Name");
            var toAddress = new MailAddress("[e-mail]", "To Name");
            const string fromPassword = "password";
            const string subject = "test";
            const string body = "Hey now!!";

            var smtp = new SmtpClient
            {
                Host = "smtp.gmail.com",
                Port = 587,

                DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network,
                Credentials = new NetworkCredential(fromAddress.Address, fromPassword),
                Timeout = 20000
            };
            using (var message = new MailMessage(fromAddress, toAddress)
            {

                Body = body
            })
            {
                smtp.Send(message);
