   I found a very simple (and flexible) .NET Mail API. Check out EZ E-Mail .NET API @ http://www.get-a-code-monkey.com/MailProcessor.aspx

   Though, it may have limited functionality it's REALLY easy to use. They have example which make using it VERY simple.

    Don't forget that framework should be installed on the target computer. That is the base for any .net application.

    Hi everyone. IF you use the .net email on a computer that is a server and has SMTP running on it, then you are fine. This is the only that .net email works. Also make sure that you initialize all the entries with = "", otherwise it crashes. If you want to use it on a computer that does no act as a server, simply search for FreeSMTP and install it on your system and instead of using .net email, use the FreeSMTP control.
    
    It works.

    Install IIS 5.1 on that machine, if possible install Microsoft exchange server also. No need to install .net

    System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = MailServer; // SMTP Server IP
    MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage();
    //Set the SMTP Authentication details
    

    
    mailMessage.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpa
    uthenticate", "1");    //basic authentication
    

    
    mailMessage.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendu
    sername", MailUserID ); //set your username here
    

    
    mailMessage.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendp
    assword", MailPassword );    //set your password here
    

    
    System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(mailMessage);

    I know this makes little to no sense, but I too had the exact code working on a .Net app and it too studdenly stopped working.
    

    
    One simple line fixed it, reasons unknown, just try this....
    

    
    mail.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout", 60)
    

    
    The default value for smtp connection timeout is 30 seconds. I just beefed up that part.  I guess 30 seconds wasn't enough for all SMTP connection (incl. name resolution, user authentication, etc. ).
    

    
    Hope this helps,

    This article is great!  I'm very impressed as a .NET newbie.
    

    
    I send 3 messages to myself at interval of 5 minutes.  all three of them arrived about 45 minutes later.
    

    
    How does the method work?  Does it queue up a certain number of message & send them at same time.  Is there a way to send the mail messages instantly?
    

    
    puzzled!

    Hi,
    

    
    I have tried to send the email similar to what you have done, with the exception of specifying the SmtpMail.SmtpServer.
    

    
    But when I try to send an email there is an exception that says (Could not create 'CDO.Message' object ) . Can you help me out with this?
    

    
    thank you.

    Because, I am a Vietnanese, so my English quite poor.
    I think that, when a source to send a message, we need a host mail to send, but in this source code, I can't see  about any host.
    I tried to send a message, but I can't receive a message which I send.
    Thank a lot.
    Nguyet Anh.

    If SmtpServer property is not set, the name of the local SMTP server is used. Set SmtpServer property of the SmtpMail class (Assign IP address) to make it work over the internet.

    I think your desktop should also
    have the CDO  dlls installed (registered).
    If you don't want this route,  try to
    create your own mail compnent.  I refer
    you to search google for 'smtp mail component in c#'.

    This code works great on my development machine.
    

    
    MailMessage myMail = new MailMessage();
    myMail.From = "me@yahoo.com";
    myMail.To = "hardware@yahoo.com";
    myMail.Subject = EmpCurrent.WholeName + " Has sent Purchase
    Requisition #" + lblReqNumber.Text + " to you for your review.";
    myMail.Priority = MailPriority.Normal; myMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html;
    myMail.Body = "Please review and reject or approve as soon as possible.";
    SmtpMail.Send(myMail);
    

    
    But when I install it on a desktop, it gives the following message every time:
    Any Ideas?
    

    
    Here is the error message:
