为了让它工作，我必须启用我的gmail帐户，以便其他应用程序可以访问它。这是通过“启用不太安全的应用程序”来完成的，也可以使用这个链接: https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha

一定要使用System.Net。邮件，而不是已弃用的System.Web.Mail。使用System.Web.Mail进行SSL是一堆拙劣的扩展。

using System.Net;
using System.Net.Mail;

var fromAddress = new MailAddress("from@gmail.com", "From Name");
var toAddress = new MailAddress("to@example.com", "To Name");
const string fromPassword = "fromPassword";
const string subject = "Subject";
const string body = "Body";

var smtp = new SmtpClient
{
    Host = "smtp.gmail.com",
    Port = 587,
    EnableSsl = true,
    DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network,
    UseDefaultCredentials = false,
    Credentials = new NetworkCredential(fromAddress.Address, fromPassword)
};
using (var message = new MailMessage(fromAddress, toAddress)
{
    Subject = subject,
    Body = body
})
{
    smtp.Send(message);
}

此外，转到谷歌帐户>安全页面，并查看登录谷歌> 2步验证设置。

如果启用了，那么您必须生成一个密码，允许. net绕过2步验证。点击“Signing in To谷歌> App passwords”，选择App = Mail, device = Windows Computer，最后生成密码。在fromPassword常量中使用生成的密码，而不是标准的Gmail密码。 如果它被禁用，那么你必须打开Less secure app access，这是不推荐的!所以最好启用两步验证。

上面的答案不管用。必须设置DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod。网络，否则将返回“客户端未经过身份验证”错误。此外，暂停总是一个好主意。

修改后的代码:

using System.Net.Mail;
using System.Net;

var fromAddress = new MailAddress("from@gmail.com", "From Name");
var toAddress = new MailAddress("to@yahoo.com", "To Name");
const string fromPassword = "password";
const string subject = "test";
const string body = "Hey now!!";

var smtp = new SmtpClient
{
    Host = "smtp.gmail.com",
    Port = 587,
    EnableSsl = true,
    DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network,
    Credentials = new NetworkCredential(fromAddress.Address, fromPassword),
    Timeout = 20000
};
using (var message = new MailMessage(fromAddress, toAddress)
{
    Subject = subject,
    Body = body
})
{
    smtp.Send(message);
}

using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Mail;

namespace SendMailViaGmail
{
   class Program
   {
   static void Main(string[] args)
   {

      //Specify senders gmail address
      string SendersAddress = "Sendersaddress@gmail.com";
      //Specify The Address You want to sent Email To(can be any valid email address)
      string ReceiversAddress = "ReceiversAddress@yahoo.com";
      //Specify The password of gmial account u are using to sent mail(pw of sender@gmail.com)
      const string SendersPassword = "Password";
      //Write the subject of ur mail
      const string subject = "Testing";
      //Write the contents of your mail
      const string body = "Hi This Is my Mail From Gmail";

      try
      {
        //we will use Smtp client which allows us to send email using SMTP Protocol
        //i have specified the properties of SmtpClient smtp within{}
        //gmails smtp server name is smtp.gmail.com and port number is 587
        SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient
        {
           Host = "smtp.gmail.com",
           Port = 587,
           EnableSsl = true,
           DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network,
           Credentials = new NetworkCredential(SendersAddress, SendersPassword),
           Timeout = 3000
        };

        //MailMessage represents a mail message
        //it is 4 parameters(From,TO,subject,body)

        MailMessage message = new MailMessage(SendersAddress, ReceiversAddress, subject, body);
        /*WE use smtp sever we specified above to send the message(MailMessage message)*/

        smtp.Send(message);
        Console.WriteLine("Message Sent Successfully");
        Console.ReadKey();
     }
     catch (Exception ex)
     {
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
        Console.ReadKey();
     }
}
}
}

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;

从另一个答案复制，上述方法工作，但gmail总是替换“从”和“回复”电子邮件与实际发送gmail帐户。然而，显然有一种方法:

“3。在帐户选项卡，点击链接“添加另一个电子邮件地址你自己的”，然后验证它

或者可能是这个

更新3:读者德里克·贝内特说:“解决办法是进入你的gmail设置:账户，并“默认”一个gmail账户以外的账户。这将导致gmail用默认帐户的电子邮件地址重写From字段。”
