I am getting the following error when I try to send an email in my C# program. I am using Visual Studio 2008 on windows 7. I would paste my code first and then the error:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Mail;
using System.Net.Mime;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.Web;
class email_log_files
{
private string login_username = "my_gmail_id";
private string login_password = "my_gmail_password";
public void send_email()
{
string src_address = "
[email protected]";
string dest_address = "
[email protected]";
try
{
MailMessage email_msg = new MailMessage();
SmtpClient email_client = new SmtpClient();
email_msg.From = new MailAddress(src_address);
email_msg.Sender = new MailAddress(src_address);
email_msg.ReplyTo = new MailAddress(src_address);
email_msg.To.Add(dest_address);
email_msg.Subject = "Test";
email_msg.
Body = "
Body of the message";
NetworkCredential credentials = new NetworkCredential(login_username, login_password);
email_client.Credentials = credentials;
email_client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
email_client.Port = 465;
email_client.EnableSsl = true;
email_client.Send(email_msg);
Console.WriteLine("Message Sent Successfully!!");
Console.ReadLine();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message.ToString());
Console.WriteLine(ex.InnerException);
Console.WriteLine(ex.Source);
Console.WriteLine(ex.Data);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
And the error message is as follows:
The operation has timed out.
System
System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal
Why is it always timing out? I am sure that I have the correct smtp server address and port number for gmail as I have configured my outlook with the same. Any help or ideas?
