You did notice that you posted your Gmail userid and password in your code sample here, didn't you?

manoharnch 28-Dec-11 4:42am

yes sir i have done it in my code i have edited my email id and password, but i am getting this error :
1. A using namespace directive can only be applied to namespace; 'System.Net.MailMessage' is a type not a name space

uspatel 28-Dec-11 4:53am

remove using System.Net.Mail.MailMessage;
System.Net.Mail works well.

uspatel 28-Dec-11 4:52am

using System.Net.Mail.MailMessage; is not needed.

You have included both System.Net.Mail and System.Web.Mail in your #using statements; you should include only the one that you want.

try

C#

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); // add port 587
        smtp.EnableSsl = true;
        smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
        smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(yourid, yourpassword);
        smtp.Send(mail);

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

C#

try
{
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com");
MailMessage message = new MailMessage("your's e-mail id(xyz@gmail.com)","e-mail id of the person you want to send mail" );
message.Body = "Body";
message.Subject = "Subject";
client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("Your gmail login(xyz)", "gmail password");
client.Port = Convert.ToInt32("587");
client.Send(message);
MessageBox.Show("Mail delivered successfully!!!", "Success", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("Message could not be sent.\nThe following error was returned:\n’" + ex.Message + "‘", "Sending Failed", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
}

this is working perfectly on my system.

Wendelius · Answer 3 · 2011-12-27T22:52:00

In your code, remove the last using statement:

C#

using System.Net.Mail.MailMessage;

ADDITION:

Either exclude one of the ...Mail namespaces (the one you don't need or use Fully qualified classes in your code, like:

C#

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        System.Net.Mail.MailMessage mail = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
