SmtpClient with Gmail

by

Gmail’s SMTP server requires you to authenticate your request with a valid gmail email/password combination. You do need SSL enabled as well. Without actually being able to see a dump of all your variables being passed in the best guess I can make is that your Credentials are invalid, make sure you’re using a valid GMAIL email/password combination.

You might want to read here for a working example.

EDIT: Okay here’s something I wrote and tested just then and it worked fine for me:

public static bool SendGmail(string subject, string content, string[] recipients, string from) {
    if (recipients == null || recipients.Length == 0)
        throw new ArgumentException("recipients");

    var gmailClient = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient {
        Host = "smtp.gmail.com",
        Port = 587,
        EnableSsl = true,
        UseDefaultCredentials = false,
        Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("******", "*****")
    };

    using (var msg = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage(from, recipients[0], subject, content)) {
        for (int i = 1; i < recipients.Length; i++)
            msg.To.Add(recipients[i]);

        try {
            gmailClient.Send(msg);
            return true;
        }
        catch (Exception) {
            // TODO: Handle the exception
            return false;
        }
    }
}
