[2005] Smtp Mail

[yulyos]

Hi,

I do not have an e-mail account from my internet service provider.

I have an e-mail account of gmail, and I want to send an e-mail from an application that I'll build with Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition.

Example that not work:

Imports System.Net.Mail
 
        Dim Mail As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
 
        With Mail
            .To.Add("MailAddress")
            .From = New MailAddress("MailAddress")
            .Subject = "Some Subject"
            .Body = "Some Body"
        End With
 
        Dim smtp As New SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com")
 
        smtp.Send(Mail)
 
        smtp = Nothing
        Mail.Dispose()
 
        MessageBox.Show("Your message has been sent")

But if I have an e-mail account from my internet service provider and I'll change the line:

Dim smtp As New SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com")
To:
        Dim smtp As New SmtpClient("smtp.internet service provider")

Then the program is working OK

Can somebody help me or have suggestion or some example?

Thanks in advance

GMail is a web-based email, not an SMTP service.

edit: I guess you can use it though

You can use Gmail as your outgoing SMTP server...

Is excellent and it's working OK

If I'll give the program that I'll build to a friend, can he send me an e-mail from his computer?

He will enter only:
His e-mail
Subject
Body

Thanks in advance

As long as your password and your username is in there, it should be able to send from anywhere....it is ISP dependent...PROVIDED that your isp does not block port number 587...
