The port for gmail is not 25. It's 587 or 465 depending on if you are trying SSL or not. And the default credentials should be false since you are supplying something other then the default.

Also, credential cannot be default.

Change the code to

C#

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
//Setting From , To and CC
mail.From = new MailAddress("MyEmailID@gmail.com", "MyWeb Site");
mail.To.Add(new MailAddress("eruoghene507@gmail.com"));
mail.CC.Add(new MailAddress("MyEmailID@gmail.com"));
mail.Body = msgtext.Text;
 
SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587);
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls; 
smtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
smtpClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
smtpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("eruoghene507@gmail.com", "this is fun");
smtpClient.Send(mail);
Response.Write("Email Sent");

Hope the above changes help.

Check every thing smtp.gmail.com and port number. for me it is working , how you are writing once put your code , i will go through that.

once you take separate application and copy and paste same code , give your credentials execute it defnetly it will work
