How to Send Email Through a Gmail Account Using aspNetEmail and ASP.NET
- by Scott Whigham on June 2, 2009 4:31 PMI’m a big fan of aspNetEmail – I’ve used six or seven products from AdvancedIntellect through the years and never once have I been unhappy or wished it did more than it does. Great stuff – check it out here: http://www.aspnetemail.com/. I had to figure out today how to post through SSL today so that I could submit an email through one of my GMail accounts. It isn’t necessarily “native” to aspNetEmail to use secure servers but it is trivially easy to get it going. I thought I’d post it here if for no other reason that it would help me remember how to do it later! By the way, the rest of this post assumes you have downloaded aspNetEmail and have a license (it isn’t free but it’s worth the pittance they charge).
To use your Gmail account with aspNetEmail
Step 1: Go download the add-on AdvancedIntellect.Ssl.dll. It’s free and requires no registration
Step 2: Unpack the .zip file and follow the incredibly simple instructions – it’s literally TWO lines of code!
Step 3: Add a reference to both aspNetEmail and AdvancedIntellect.Ssl.dll to your project
Step 4: Code it up!
var mail = new EmailMessage { ValidateAddress = true };
// Fill in details such as To, From, Body, etc
// Gmail-specific:
mail.Server = "smtp.gmail.com";
var ssl = new AdvancedIntellect.Ssl.SslSocket();
mail.LoadSslSocket(ssl);
mail.Port = 587;
mail.Username = myGmailEmailAddress;
mail.Password = myGmailPassword;
mail.Send();
The two important lines are:
var ssl = new AdvancedIntellect.Ssl.SslSocket();
mail.LoadSslSocket(ssl);
Super easy – I love AdvancedIntellect :)

The most base service with Vonage is now $14.99/month with 500 free minutes (including Canada, but omits global calls), which is a solid deal unless you are constantly on the phone. All the services arrives with Voice Mail, Caller ID and something called “Network Availability Number”. The latter provides you to set a telephone number (i.e. for your cellular telephone) that calls will be forwarded to in the event that your broadband connection goes down.
