为了避免Gmail的安全问题，你应该先从Gmail的设置中生成一个应用程序密码，即使你使用两步验证，你也可以使用这个密码而不是真实密码来发送电子邮件。

这是不再支持，如果你正在尝试这样做现在。

下面是一个从web.config发送邮件和获取凭证的方法:

public static string SendEmail(string To, string Subject, string Msg, bool bodyHtml = false, bool test = false, Stream AttachmentStream = null, string AttachmentType = null, string AttachmentFileName = null)
{
    try
    {
        System.Net.Mail.MailMessage newMsg = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["mailCfg"], To, Subject, Msg);
        newMsg.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
        newMsg.HeadersEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
        newMsg.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;

        System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient smtpClient = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient();
        if (AttachmentStream != null && AttachmentType != null && AttachmentFileName != null)
        {
            System.Net.Mail.Attachment attachment = new System.Net.Mail.Attachment(AttachmentStream, AttachmentFileName);
            System.Net.Mime.ContentDisposition disposition = attachment.ContentDisposition;
            disposition.FileName = AttachmentFileName;
            disposition.DispositionType = System.Net.Mime.DispositionTypeNames.Attachment;

            newMsg.Attachments.Add(attachment);
        }
        if (test)
        {
            smtpClient.PickupDirectoryLocation = "C:\\TestEmail";
            smtpClient.DeliveryMethod = System.Net.Mail.SmtpDeliveryMethod.SpecifiedPickupDirectory;
        }
        else
        {
            //smtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
        }

        newMsg.IsBodyHtml = bodyHtml;
        smtpClient.Send(newMsg);
        return SENT_OK;
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {

        return "Error: " + ex.Message
             + "<br/><br/>Inner Exception: "
             + ex.InnerException;
    }

}

以及web.config中相应的部分:

<appSettings>
    <add key="mailCfg" value="yourmail@example.com"/>
</appSettings>
<system.net>
  <mailSettings>
    <smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="yourmail@example.com">
      <network defaultCredentials="false" host="mail.exapmple.com" userName="yourmail@example.com" password="your_password" port="25"/>
    </smtp>
  </mailSettings>
</system.net>

如果你的谷歌密码不起作用，你可能需要在谷歌上为Gmail创建一个特定于应用程序的密码。 https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en

如果您想发送后台邮件，请执行以下操作

 public void SendEmail(string address, string subject, string message)
 {
 Thread threadSendMails;
 threadSendMails = new Thread(delegate()
    {

      //Place your Code here 

     });
  threadSendMails.IsBackground = true;
  threadSendMails.Start();
}

并添加命名空间

using System.Threading;

你可以试试Mailkit。它为发送邮件提供了更好、更先进的功能。这里有一个例子

    MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage();
    message.From.Add(new MailboxAddress("FromName", "YOU_FROM_ADDRESS@gmail.com"));
    message.To.Add(new MailboxAddress("ToName", "YOU_TO_ADDRESS@gmail.com"));
    message.Subject = "MyEmailSubject";

    message.Body = new TextPart("plain")
    {
        Text = @"MyEmailBodyOnlyTextPart"
    };

    using (var client = new SmtpClient())
    {
        client.Connect("SERVER", 25); // 25 is port you can change accordingly

        // Note: since we don't have an OAuth2 token, disable
        // the XOAUTH2 authentication mechanism.
        client.AuthenticationMechanisms.Remove("XOAUTH2");

        // Note: only needed if the SMTP server requires authentication
        client.Authenticate("YOUR_USER_NAME", "YOUR_PASSWORD");

        client.Send(message);
        client.Disconnect(true);
    }
