I'm currently having problems with my program it keeps giving me the same error no matter how many times I change my code, the code is in the same format so I dont know what the problem even changed the port to 587 to 25

C#

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
                SmtpClient SmtpServer = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com");

                mail.From = new MailAddress("xhasiwe@gmail.com");
                mail.To.Add("bella.moqekwa@expeditors.com");
                mail.Subject = "Test Mail";
                mail.Body = "This is for testing SMTP mail from GMAIL";

                SmtpServer.Port = 587;
                SmtpServer.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("xhasiwe", "mypassword");
                SmtpServer.EnableSsl = true;

                SmtpServer.Send(mail);
                Console.WriteLine("mail Send");

The Error is that inner exception (Unable to connect to the remote server)

Hi,

C#

string Password="gmail's Password";

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
                SmtpClient SmtpServer = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com");
 
                mail.From = new MailAddress("xhasiwe@gmail.com");
                mail.To.Add("bella.moqekwa@expeditors.com");
                mail.Subject = "Test Mail";
                mail.Body = "This is for testing SMTP mail from GMAIL";
 
                SmtpServer.Port = 465;
                SmtpServer.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(UserName, Password);
                SmtpServer.EnableSsl = true;
 
                SmtpServer.Send(mail);
