Please elaborate on `failure`. Are you getting any exception? if so, could you embed it within our post. Is the email just not going through? — Nathan, Mar 18 '20 at 12:02
I've tried in another way but it shows the WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: 'Failure sending mail.' — KVDS, Mar 18 '20 at 12:05
MailAddress address = new MailAddress("someone@gmail.com"); // Remove space and try Port 587 — Joel Dharansingh, Mar 18 '20 at 12:10

Change port="25" to port="587" And turn on less secure option in your gmail setting
