I think the problem is the fact you are trying to use mail.hotmail.com try adding your Credentials to the sending, if not find a different SMTP Server public Send Mail() { MailMessage message = new MailMessage("Send to Addr", "From Address", "Subject", "Message"); message.IsBodyHtml = true; SmtpClient emailClient = new SmtpClient("Othe SMTP"); emailClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false; System.Net.NetworkCredential basicAuthenticationInfo = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("YourSmtpUserName something@yourhost.com", "emailpassword"); emailClient.Credentials = basicAuthenticationInfo; emailClient.Send(message); }

What .net Framework you using also add your account details to the smtpClient the code I gave you last answer works everytime.

Hi, here is my code, which is same as your one. but not working as System.Net.Mail classes doesn't support SMTPS.

SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 465);
MailMessage mail_msg = new MailMessage();

            MailAddress fromAdd = new MailAddress(tbFrom.Text.Trim());
            mail\_msg.From = fromAdd;
            mail\_msg.To.Add(new MailAddress(tbTo.Text.Trim()));
            mail\_msg.Subject = tbSubject.Text;
            mail\_msg.IsBodyHtml = true;
            mail\_msg.Body = "Message From: " + tbFrom.Text.Trim() + "Subject:" + tbSubject.Text.Trim() + "Email: " + tbTo.Text.Trim() + "Content: " + tbContent.Text.Trim();

            System.Net.NetworkCredential basicCredential = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(tbFrom.Text, "my password");
            client.EnableSsl = true;
            client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
            client.Credentials = basicCredential;
            client.Send(mail\_msg);
