SmtpException - Mailbox unavailable [duplicate] - c#

I can't understand why this code is not working. I get an error saying property can not be assigned
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.Port = 25;
client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
mail.To = "user#hotmail.com"; // <-- this one
mail.From = "you#yourcompany.example";
mail.Subject = "this is a test email.";
mail.Body = "this is my test email body";
client.Send(mail);

mail.To and mail.From are readonly. Move them to the constructor.
using System.Net.Mail;
...
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage("you#yourcompany.example", "user#hotmail.com");
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.Port = 25;
client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
mail.Subject = "this is a test email.";
mail.Body = "this is my test email body";
client.Send(mail);

This :
mail.To = "user#hotmail.com";
Should be:
mail.To.Add(new MailAddress("user#hotmail.com"));

Finally got working :)
using System.Net.Mail;
using System.Text;
...
// Command line argument must the the SMTP host.
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.Port = 587;
client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
client.EnableSsl = true;
client.Timeout = 10000;
client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("user#gmail.com","password");
MailMessage mm = new MailMessage("donotreply#domain.example", "sendtomyemail#domain.example", "test", "test");
mm.BodyEncoding = UTF8Encoding.UTF8;
mm.DeliveryNotificationOptions = DeliveryNotificationOptions.OnFailure;
client.Send(mm);
sorry about poor spelling before

public static void SendMail(MailMessage Message)
{
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.Host = "smtp.googlemail.com";
client.Port = 587;
client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
client.EnableSsl = true;
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("myemail#gmail.com", "password");
client.Send(Message);
}

This is how it works for me. Hope you find it useful
MailMessage objeto_mail = new MailMessage();
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.Port = 25;
client.Host = "smtp.internal.mycompany.com";
client.Timeout = 10000;
client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("user", "Password");
objeto_mail.From = new MailAddress("from#server.com");
objeto_mail.To.Add(new MailAddress("to#server.com"));
objeto_mail.Subject = "Password Recover";
objeto_mail.Body = "Message";
client.Send(objeto_mail);

First go to https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps and make Allow less secure apps true.
Then use the below code. This below code will work only if your from email address is from gmail.
static void SendEmail()
{
string mailBodyhtml =
"<p>some text here</p>";
var msg = new MailMessage("from#gmail.com", "to1#gmail.com", "Hello", mailBodyhtml);
msg.To.Add("to2#gmail.com");
msg.IsBodyHtml = true;
var smtpClient = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587); //**if your from email address is "from#hotmail.com" then host should be "smtp.hotmail.com"**
smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
smtpClient.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("from#gmail.com", "password");
smtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
smtpClient.Send(msg);
Console.WriteLine("Email Sent Successfully");
}

If you want to have your email and password not appear in your code and want your company email client server to use your windows credentials use below.
client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;

This just worked for me as of March 2017.
Started with solution from above "Finally got working :)" which didn't work at first.
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.Port = 587;
client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
client.EnableSsl = true;
client.Timeout = 10000;
client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("<me>#gmail.com", "<my pw>");
MailMessage mm = new MailMessage(from_addr_text, to_addr_text, msg_subject, msg_body);
mm.BodyEncoding = UTF8Encoding.UTF8;
mm.DeliveryNotificationOptions = DeliveryNotificationOptions.OnFailure;
client.Send(mm);

Go through this article for more details

Just need to try this:
string smtpAddress = "smtp.gmail.com";
int portNumber = 587;
bool enableSSL = true;
string emailFrom = "companyemail";
string password = "password";
string emailTo = "Your email";
string subject = "Hello!";
string body = "Hello, Mr.";
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.From = new MailAddress(emailFrom);
mail.To.Add(emailTo);
mail.Subject = subject;
mail.Body = body;
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
using (SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient(smtpAddress, portNumber))
{
smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(emailFrom, password);
smtp.EnableSsl = enableSSL;
smtp.Send(mail);
}

MailKit is an Open Source cross-platform .NET mail-client library that is based on MimeKit and optimized for mobile devices.
It has more and advance features better than System.Net.Mail
Microsoft TNEF support via MimeKit.
Download nuget package from here.
See this example you can send mail
MimeMessage mailMessage = new MimeMessage();
mailMessage.From.Add(new MailboxAddress(senderName, sender#address.com));
mailMessage.Sender = new MailboxAddress(senderName, sender#address.com);
mailMessage.To.Add(new MailboxAddress(emailid, emailid));
mailMessage.Subject = subject;
mailMessage.ReplyTo.Add(new MailboxAddress(replyToAddress));
mailMessage.Subject = subject;
var builder = new BodyBuilder();
builder.TextBody = "Hello There";
try
{
using (var smtpClient = new SmtpClient())
{
smtpClient.Connect("HostName", "Port", MailKit.Security.SecureSocketOptions.None);
smtpClient.Authenticate("user#name.com", "password");
smtpClient.Send(mailMessage);
Console.WriteLine("Success");
}
}
catch (SmtpCommandException ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}

Initialize the MailMessage with sender and reciever's email addresses. It should be something like
string from = "codeforwin#gmail.com"; //Senders email
string to = "reciever#gmail.com"; //Receiver's email
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage(from, to);

this would work too..
string your_id = "your_id#gmail.com";
string your_password = "password";
try
{
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient
{
Host = "smtp.gmail.com",
Port = 587,
EnableSsl = true,
DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network,
Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(your_id, your_password),
Timeout = 10000,
};
MailMessage mm = new MailMessage(your_iD, "recepient#gmail.com", "subject", "body");
client.Send(mm);
Console.WriteLine("Email Sent");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Could not end email\n\n"+e.ToString());
}

//Hope you find it useful, it contain too many things

System.Net.Mail and MailMessage not Sending Messages

I have update from an obsolete name space to System.Net.Mail - the code was supposed to be straight forward - I am having problems sending email and can't get hold of the issue
public bool send()
{
SmtpClient mailClient = new SmtpClient("my domain", 25);
MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage();
mailClient.EnableSsl = false;
mailMessage.From = new MailAddress("my email");
mailMessage.To.Add(sendTo.ToString());
//mailMessage.Bcc.Add(bcc.ToString());
//mailMessage.CC.Add(cc.ToString());
mailMessage.Subject = subject;
mailMessage.Body = body.ToString();
mailMessage.IsBodyHtml = true;
try
{
mailClient.Send(mailMessage);
}
catch (Exception exp)
{
exp.ToString();
return false;
}
return true;
}
using Gmail smtp server
var client = new SmtpClient();
client.Port = 587;
client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
if (!client.UseDefaultCredentials)
client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("your_email#mail.com", "your_email_pass");
client.EnableSsl = true;
client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
var mail = new MailMessage("from#mail.com", "to#mail.com");
mail.Subject = "test ";
mail.Body = "body message";
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
client.Send(mail);
No Credential for the smtp server? Or you add it already.
Try
mailClient.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password"),

Can't send mails

I've tried sending mails using this code:
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.Port = 587;
client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
client.EnableSsl = true;
client.Timeout = 10000;
client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("email#gmail.com", "password");
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage("email#gmail.com", "some1#gmail.com", "Subject", "Body");
mail.BodyEncoding = UTF8Encoding.UTF8;
mail.DeliveryNotificationOptions = DeliveryNotificationOptions.OnFailure;
client.Send(mail);
It doesn't work, the error looks like this: http://scr.hu/5gpw/tv6hn
What's wrong with this code?
I would change the code into a Method and test passing in the the Port, Host etc look at this and see if it works for you I just tested it and it works great on my end.
public void Send(string from, string to,string smtpServer, int smtpPort,string username, string password)
{
try
{
using (MailMessage mm = new MailMessage())
{
SmtpClient sc = new SmtpClient();
mm.From = new MailAddress(from, "Test");
mm.To.Add(new MailAddress(to));
mm.IsBodyHtml = true;
mm.Subject = "Test Message";
mm.Body = "This is a test email message from Krzysztof Senska";
mm.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
mm.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
NetworkCredential su = new NetworkCredential(username, password);
sc.Host = smtpServer;
sc.Port = smtpPort;
sc.Credentials = su;
sc.Send(mm);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}

Time out error while sending mail to gmail account using smtp port 465 in asp.net

msg.Body = bodyTxt;
System.Net.Mail.Attachment attachment = new System.Net.Mail.Attachment(#"C:\Projects\EverydayProject\test.txt");
msg.Attachments.Add(attachment);
smtp.Send(msg);
Here is working code to send an email to gmail smtp. From what I see you don't set UseDefaultCredentials = false and you are using wrong port. Also you MUST NOT override exceptions like this., throw the initial exception. Also for this to work you need to turn off security setting in your Gmail account. You can google it.

Send Email With C# (Cpanel Hosting)

I have bought a cPanel host and the SMTP server information is:
This is my code:
string smtpAddress = "mandane.hostcream.com";
int portNumber = 465;
bool enableSSL = true;
string emailFrom = "mahabadi#exirsec.ir";
string password = Authenitication.PassWord;
string emailTo = To.Text;
string subject = Subject.Text;
string body = Body.Text;
using (MailMessage mail = new MailMessage())
{
mail.From = new MailAddress(emailFrom);
mail.To.Add(emailTo);
mail.Subject = subject;
mail.Body = body;
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
using (SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient(smtpAddress, portNumber))
{
smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(emailFrom, password);
smtp.EnableSsl = enableSSL;
smtp.Send(mail);
}
}
When I run my code and click on the send button after 1 or 2 minutes this appears:
Additional information: Failure sending mail.
What am I doing wrong?
I think you missed something, try this:
SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient();
NetworkCredential smtpCredentials = new NetworkCredential("email from","password");
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
MailAddress fromAddress = new MailAddress("email from");
MailAddress toAddress = new MailAddress("email to");
smtpClient.Host = "smpt host address";
smtpClient.Port = your_port;
smtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
smtpClient.Credentials = smtpCredentials;
smtpClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
smtpClient.Timeout = 20000;
message.From = fromAddress;
message.To.Add(toAddress);
message.IsBodyHtml = false;
message.Subject = "example";
message.Body = "example";
smtpClient.Send(message);
It seems that you cannot reach Yahoo address on port 465, please check if this address reachable first because it appears to be a network issue.

How to send mail using SmtpClient in .net?

I have the following code which is not working:
public static void SendMail(string content, string title, List<string> address)
{
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(Server,Port);
client.Port = Port;
client.Host = Server;
client.EnableSsl = false;
client.Timeout = 10000;
client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(Username, Password);
foreach(string to in address)
{
MailMessage mm = new MailMessage(From, to, title, content);
mm.BodyEncoding = UTF8Encoding.UTF8;
mm.DeliveryNotificationOptions = DeliveryNotificationOptions.OnFailure;
client.Send(mm);
}
client.Dispose();
}
I am getting the following error:
Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: You must give your username and password to send mail through this service
You can see that I am passing a username and password. Why am I still getting this issue?
here i am using example of using gmail server
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.To.Add(textBox1.Text);
mail.From = new MailAddress("Yourgmailid");
mail.Subject = "Email using Gmail";
string Body = "Hi, this mail is to test sending mail" +
"using Gmail in ASP.NET";
mail.Body = Body;
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential
("Yourgmailid, "Password");
smtp.EnableSsl = true;
smtp.Send(mail);
