通过 gmail 使用 System.Net.Mail 发送电子邮件

Question

I want to send a email through gmail server. I have put the following code but it is getting stuck while sending. Any idea please....

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();

        mail.From = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("apps@xxxx.com");

        //create instance of smtpclient
        SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
        smtp.Port = 465;
        smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = true;

        smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";            

        smtp.EnableSsl = true;

        //recipient address
        mail.To.Add(new MailAddress("yyyy@xxxx.com"));

        //Formatted mail body
        mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
        string st = "Test";

        mail.Body = st;
        smtp.Send(mail);

The xxxx.com is a mail domain in Google apps. Thanks...

Answer 1

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.From = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("apps@xxxx.com");

// The important part -- configuring the SMTP client
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.Port = 587;   // [1] You can try with 465 also, I always used 587 and got success
smtp.EnableSsl = true;
smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network; // [2] Added this
smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false; // [3] Changed this
smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(mail.From,  "password_here");  // [4] Added this. Note, first parameter is NOT string.
smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";            

//recipient address
mail.To.Add(new MailAddress("yyyy@xxxx.com"));

//Formatted mail body
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
string st = "Test";

mail.Body = st;
smtp.Send(mail);

Answer 2

I tried the above C# code to send mail from Gmail to my Corporate ID. While executing the application the control stopped indefinitely at the statement smtp.Send(mail);

While Googling, I came across a similar code , that worked for me. I am posting that code here.

class GMail
{
    public void SendMail()
    {  
        string pGmailEmail = "fromAddress@gmail.com";
        string pGmailPassword = "GmailPassword";
        string pTo = "ToAddress"; //abc@domain.com
        string pSubject = "Test From Gmail";
        string pBody = "Body"; //Body
        MailFormat pFormat = MailFormat.Text; //Text Message
        string pAttachmentPath = string.Empty; //No Attachments

        System.Web.Mail.MailMessage myMail = new System.Web.Mail.MailMessage();
        myMail.Fields.Add
            ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver",
                          "smtp.gmail.com");
        myMail.Fields.Add
            ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport",
                          "465");
        myMail.Fields.Add
            ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing",
                          "2");
        //sendusing: cdoSendUsingPort, value 2, for sending the message using 
        //the network.

        //smtpauthenticate: Specifies the mechanism used when authenticating 
        //to an SMTP 
        //service over the network. Possible values are:
        //- cdoAnonymous, value 0. Do not authenticate.
        //- cdoBasic, value 1. Use basic clear-text authentication. 
        //When using this option you have to provide the user name and password 
        //through the sendusername and sendpassword fields.
        //- cdoNTLM, value 2. The current process security context is used to 
        // authenticate with the service.
        myMail.Fields.Add
        ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate", "1");
        //Use 0 for anonymous
        myMail.Fields.Add
        ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername",
            pGmailEmail);
        myMail.Fields.Add
        ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword",
             pGmailPassword);
        myMail.Fields.Add
        ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl",
             "true");
        myMail.From = pGmailEmail;
        myMail.To = pTo;
        myMail.Subject = pSubject;
        myMail.BodyFormat = pFormat;
        myMail.Body = pBody;
        if (pAttachmentPath.Trim() != "")
        {
            MailAttachment MyAttachment =
                    new MailAttachment(pAttachmentPath);
            myMail.Attachments.Add(MyAttachment);
            myMail.Priority = System.Web.Mail.MailPriority.High;
        }

        SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "smtp.gmail.com:465";
        SmtpMail.Send(myMail);
    }
}

Answer 3

设置 smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false 并使用 smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(gMailAccount, password);

Answer 4

This have worked for me:

        MailMessage message = new MailMessage("myemail@gmail.com", toemail, subjectEmail, comments);
        message.IsBodyHtml = true;

        try {
            SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587);
            client.Timeout = 2000;
            client.EnableSsl = true;
            client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
            //client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
            client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
            client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("myemail@gmail.com", "mypassord");
            client.Send(message);

            message.Dispose();
            client.Dispose();
        }
        catch (Exception ex) {
            Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message);
        }

BUT (as of the time of this writing - Oct 2017)

You need to ENABLE "Allow less secure apps" inside the option "apps with account access" at the "My account" google security/privacy settings ( https://myaccount.google.com )

Answer 5

I realise this is an answer to a very old question, with lots of other good answers. I am posting this code to include some of the useful comments posted by other users such as Using Statements and newer methods where some answers have obsolete methods. This code was tested and working as of 11 July 2018.

If sending via your GMail Account ensure that Allow less secure apps is enabled from your control panel

Class Code C#:

public class Email
{
public void NewHeadlessEmail(string fromEmail, string password, string toAddress, string subject, string body)
{
    using (System.Net.Mail.MailMessage myMail = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage())
    {
        myMail.From = new MailAddress(fromEmail);
        myMail.To.Add(toAddress);
        myMail.Subject = subject;
        myMail.IsBodyHtml = true;
        myMail.Body = body;

        using (System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient s = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587))
        {
            s.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
            s.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
            s.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(myMail.From.ToString(), password);
            s.EnableSsl = true;
            s.Send(myMail);
        }
    }
}
}

Class Code VB:

Public Class Email    
Sub NewHeadlessEmail(fromEmail As String, password As String, toAddress As String, subject As String, body As String)
        Using myMail As System.Net.Mail.MailMessage = New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage()
            myMail.From = New MailAddress(fromEmail)
            myMail.To.Add(toAddress)
            myMail.Subject = subject
            myMail.IsBodyHtml = True
            myMail.Body = body

            Using s As New Net.Mail.SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587)
                s.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network
                s.UseDefaultCredentials = False
                s.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential(myMail.From.ToString(), password)
                s.EnableSsl = True
                s.Send(myMail)
            End Using

        End Using
    End Sub
End Class

Usage C#:

{
Email em = new Email();
em.NewHeadlessEmail("myemail@gmail.com", "password", "recipient@email.com", "Subject Text", "Body Text");
}

Usage VB:

Dim em As New Email
em.NewHeadlessEmail("myemail@gmail.com", "password", "recipient@email.com", "Subject Text", "Body Text")

Answer 6

Use Port number 587

With the following code, it will work successfully.

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.From = new MailAddress("abc@mydomain.com", "Enquiry");
mail.To.Add("abcdef@yahoo.com");
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
mail.Subject = "Registration";
mail.Body = "Some Text";
mail.Priority = MailPriority.High;

SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587);
//smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("xyz@gmail.com", "<my gmail pwd>");
smtp.EnableSsl = true;
//smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;

smtp.Send(mail);

But, there is a problem with using gmail. The email will be sent successfully, but the recipient inbox will have the gmail address in the 'from address' instead of the 'from address' mentioned in the code.

To solve this, please follow the steps mentioned at the following link.

http://karmic-development.blogspot.in/2013/10/send-email-from-aspnet-using-gmail-as.html

before following all the above steps, you need to authenticate your gmail account to allow access to your application and also the devices. Please check all the steps for account authentication at the following link:

Answer 7

    ActiveUp.Net.Mail.SmtpMessage smtpmsg = new ActiveUp.Net.Mail.SmtpMessage();
    smtpmsg.From.Email = "abcd@test.com";
    smtpmsg.To.Add(To);
    smtpmsg.Bcc.Add("vijay@indiagreat.com");
    smtpmsg.Subject = Subject;
    smtpmsg.BodyText.Text = Body;

    smtpmsg.Send("mail.test.com", "abcd@sss.com", "user@1234", ActiveUp.Net.Mail.SaslMechanism.Login);

Answer 8

simple code works

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.To.Add(to);
mail.From = new MailAddress(from);
mail.Subject = subject;
mail.Body = body;
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com",587);
smtp.EnableSsl = true;
smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(address, password);
smtp.Send(mail);
