    copied!<p>I am trying to send a basic email through Google Apps/Gmail using C# (System.Net.Mail/Framework 4) and I am having trouble doing so. </p> <p>I am receiving the following exception: "The operation has timed out."</p> <p>My code is below:</p> <pre><code> //Create the mail message MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(); //Set the addresses mail.From = new MailAddress("myemail@gmail.com", "My Name"); mail.To.Add(Email); //Set the subject and bodycontent mail.Subject = "Email Testing"; mail.Body = "This is the body of the email"; //Send the message using the SmtpClient SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient(); smtp.EnableSsl = true; smtp.Send(mail); </code></pre> <p>My web.config has the following settings:</p> <pre><code> &lt;smtp from="myemail@gmail.com" deliveryMethod="Network"&gt; &lt;network host="smtp.gmail.com" userName="myemail@gmail.com" password="password" port="587" /&gt; &lt;/smtp&gt; </code></pre> <p>During my troubleshooting I have tried:</p> <ul> <li>Using my personal gmail address as well as another from a domain hosted through Google Apps.</li> <li>Using ports 25, 465, and 587</li> <li>Hard coding the config settings in the c# code instead of using the web.config</li> <li>Sending and telneting from multiple network locations to ensure the firewall/ISP was not blocking it</li> <li>Ensured that POP was enabled in the GMail settings (according to Google this should turn on the ability to send using SMTP)</li> <li>Changing the send from and replyTo address to ensure they match the account (apparently a GMail necessity).</li> </ul> <p>I am able to send and receive email fine through the GMail interface for both of my email accounts. I have also tried the settings and solutions offered in Question # <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/757987/send-email-via-c-through-google-apps-account">757987</a> to no avail. </p>
