Hi, Hopefuly somebody can help me. I'm trying to send mail by vb.net for a while now, but somehow the examples on the web don't seem to work.

This is what I did last to send mail by the smtp server of my gmail account. I wonder what it is that I'm doing wrong here.

thanx in advance, Koen


        Dim From As MailAddress = New MailAddress("[email protected]")
        Dim [To] As MailAddress = New MailAddress("[email protected]")
        Dim Message As MailMessage = New MailMessage(From, [To])
        Message.Subject = "Using the SmtpClient class."
        Message.Body = "Using this feature, you can send an e-mail message from an application very easily."

        client = New SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com")

        client.EnableSsl = False
        client.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("myusername", "mypassword")

        MsgBox("Sending an e-mail message to " & [To].Address & " by using SMTP host " & client.Host & " port " & client.Port)

        client.Send(Message)

do you receive any error?? the code looks goods at first sight... do you receive anything from send???

HTH

AFAIK, Google's mail server requires SSL:

Ah, thanx a lot! I thought that gmail SSL should be off. Turning it on wasn't enough though, I also had to fill in client.Port = 587. Now it works!

You're welcome. Glad it's working.
