Better use sendgrid that microsoft recommends. https://www.twilio.com/blog/send-emails-using-the-sendgrid-api-with-dotnetnet-6-and-csharp

You can send it from your local system using some SMTP account only. A better and more convenient way is to use a Gmail account which is also free if you want to do it for testing.

Hello Uday, If I understand it correctly, gmail no longer allows sending mail the way to you have described.

Hello Paul, Try Following using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Net.Mail; using System.Net; class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { Console.WriteLine("Mail To"); MailAddress to = new MailAddress(Console.ReadLine()); Console.WriteLine("Mail From"); MailAddress from = new MailAddress(Console.ReadLine()); MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(from, to); Console.WriteLine("Subject"); mail.Subject = Console.ReadLine(); Console.WriteLine("Your Message"); mail.Body = Console.ReadLine(); SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient(); smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; smtp.Port = 587; smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential( "username@domain.com", "password"); smtp.EnableSsl = true; Console.WriteLine("Sending email..."); smtp.Send(mail); } }
