    client.AuthenticationMechanisms.Remove("XOAUTH2");  
    await client.AuthenticateAsync("fromEmail@gmail.com", "fromPassword"); //error occurs here

    await client.SendAsync(emailMessage).ConfigureAwait(false);
    await client.DisconnectAsync(true);
    await client.DisconnectAsync(true).ConfigureAwait(false);
}
catch(Exception e)
{

}

Answer 1

The NotSupportedException is thrown because GMail does not support authentication without using an SSL/TLS connection because it only supports non-encrypted password-based authentication mechanisms.

I would recommend connecting like this:

client.ConnectAsync("smtp.gmail.com", 587, SecureSocketOptions.StartTls)

Hope that helps.
