You could try the following:

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

And if you are using .NET versions prior to 4.0, SmtpClient doesn’t implement IDisposable so you might need to remove the using statement around it.
