到2017年3月，这对我来说是有效的。 从上面的解决方案开始:“终于开始工作了:)”，一开始并没有工作。

SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.Port =  587;
client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
client.EnableSsl = true;
client.Timeout = 10000;
client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("<me>@gmail.com", "<my pw>");
MailMessage mm = new MailMessage(from_addr_text, to_addr_text, msg_subject, msg_body);
mm.BodyEncoding = UTF8Encoding.UTF8;
mm.DeliveryNotificationOptions = DeliveryNotificationOptions.OnFailure;

client.Send(mm);

这样的:

mail.To = "user@hotmail.com";

应该是:

mail.To.Add(new MailAddress("user@hotmail.com"));

这也可以…

string your_id = "your_id@gmail.com";
string your_password = "password";
try
{
   SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient
   {
     Host = "smtp.gmail.com",
     Port = 587,
     EnableSsl = true,
     DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network,
     Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(your_id, your_password),
     Timeout = 10000,
   };
   MailMessage mm = new MailMessage(your_iD, "recepient@gmail.com", "subject", "body");
   client.Send(mm);
   Console.WriteLine("Email Sent");
 }
 catch (Exception e)
 {
   Console.WriteLine("Could not end email\n\n"+e.ToString());
 }

邮件。寄和寄。From是只读的。将它们移动到构造函数中。

using System.Net.Mail;

...

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage("you@yourcompany.example", "user@hotmail.com");
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.Port = 25;
client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
mail.Subject = "this is a test email.";
mail.Body = "this is my test email body";
client.Send(mail);

这个答案的特点是:

尽可能使用“Using”(IDisposable接口) 使用对象初始化器 异步编程 将SmtpConfig提取到外部类(根据需要进行调整)

下面是提取的代码:

    public async Task SendAsync(string subject, string body, string to)
    {
        using (var message = new MailMessage(smtpConfig.FromAddress, to)
        {
            Subject = subject,
            Body = body,
            IsBodyHtml = true
        })
        {
            using (var client = new SmtpClient()
            {
                Port = smtpConfig.Port,
                DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network,
                UseDefaultCredentials = false,
                Host = smtpConfig.Host,
                Credentials = new NetworkCredential(smtpConfig.User, smtpConfig.Password),
            })
            {
                await client.SendMailAsync(message);
            }
        }                                     
    }

Class SmtpConfig:

public class SmtpConfig
{
    public string Host { get; set; }
    public string User { get; set; }
    public string Password { get; set; }
    public int Port { get; set; }
    public string FromAddress { get; set; }
}

smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // the host name
smtp.Port = 587; //port number
smtp.EnableSsl = true; //whether your smtp server requires SSL
smtp.DeliveryMethod = System.Net.Mail.SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(fromAddress, fromPassword);
smtp.Timeout = 20000;
