GMail SMTP Outgoing Problem

[DarkSorrow38]

In the following code snippet if I change the port number from 587 to any other (even to 465 as mentioned over the net) the mail sending attempts fail.

        string from1 = "from\_e-mail";
        string to1   = "to\_e-mail";
        string subject = "Test";
        const string password = "xxxxxxxx";
        string body = "Hello World";
        smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
        smtp.Port = 587;
        smtp.EnableSsl = true;
        smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
        smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
        smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(from1, password);
        smtp.Timeout = 20000000;
        smtp.Send(from1, to1, subject, body);

Any Suggestion

The most important suggestion: Tell us the error message!

The problem is that noting happens. I believe connection is not getting established.
