C#

public static string SendMail(string from, string to, string subject, string body)
    {
        MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage();

        mailMessage.From = new MailAddress(from);
        mailMessage.To.Add(to);
        mailMessage.Subject = subject;
        mailMessage.IsBodyHtml = true;
        mailMessage.BodyEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
        mailMessage.Body = body;
        //  mailMessage.Attachments = attach;
        mailMessage.Priority = MailPriority.Normal;

        SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
        client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("mygmailaddress", "password");
        client.Port = 587;
        client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
        client.EnableSsl = true;  
        MailMessage message = mailMessage;
       
        try
        {
            client.Send(message);
            return "true";
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            return ex.Message.ToString();

        }
    }

This Code Works fine....
