We are testing some code to send email messages using Gmail from a form, but get a time out error.
Can you tell us what is missing from this code to get the email message sent?
Try
Dim SmtpServer As New SmtpClient()
Dim mail As New MailMessage()
SmtpServer.EnableSsl = True
SmtpServer.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential("ouremail@gmail.com", "MyPasswordGoesHere")
SmtpServer.Port = 465
SmtpServer.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"
mail.From = New MailAddress("ouremail@gmail.com")
mail.To.Add("ouremail@gmail.com")
mail.Subject = "Test Mail"
mail.Body = "This is for testing SMTP mail from GMAIL"
SmtpServer.Send(mail)
MsgBox("mail sent")
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.ToString)
End Try
Update: Code change using MailBee. This is how we are doing emails to all the customers:
Dim strSqlStatement As String = "Select CustomerName, Email " & _
"From Customers " & _
"Where Email Is Not Null"
If IsConnected() Then
' Set up the sql command and lookup the parent.
'----------------------------------------------
Using objSqlCommand As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(strSqlStatement, ObjConnection)
With objSqlCommand
' Open the SqlConnection before executing the query.
'---------------------------------------------------
Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor
ObjConnection.Open()
Dim objDataReader As SqlDataReader = .ExecuteReader()
' Go through all the customers and send out the promotion emails.
'----------------------------------------------------------------
If objDataReader.HasRows Then
MailBee.Global.LicenseKey = "My license key goes here."
Dim objSMTP As New Smtp
Dim server As New SmtpServer(TextBoxSMTPServer.Text, TextBoxUserName.Text, TextBoxPassword.Text)
'SmtpServer.Host = TextBoxSMTPServer.Text
'SmtpServer.Port = TextBoxPort.Text
'SmtpServer.Timeout = 100
'If TextBoxUseSSL.Text = "Yes" Then
' SmtpServer.EnableSsl = True
'Else
' SmtpServer.EnableSsl = False
'End If
'If TextBoxUseDefaultCredentials.Text = "Yes" Then
' SmtpServer.UseDefaultCredentials = True
'Else
' SmtpServer.UseDefaultCredentials = False
'End If
'SmtpServer.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential(TextBoxUserName.Text, TextBoxPassword.Text)
objSMTP.SmtpServers.Clear()
objSMTP.SmtpServers.Add(server)
While objDataReader.Read()
If objDataReader("Email").ToString <> "" Then
objSMTP.Message.From.AsString = TextBoxEmailFrom.Text
objSMTP.Message.To.AsString = objDataReader("Email").ToString
objSMTP.Message.Subject = "Promotion: " & TextBoxID.Text
objSMTP.Message.BodyPlainText = "Dear " & objDataReader("CustomerName") & "," & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & TextBoxPromotionBodyText.Text
Try
objSMTP.Send()
Catch exBadPassword As MailBeeSmtpLoginBadCredentialsException

blnThereWereErrors = True

End Try
End If

End If
End While
