Gmail requires you to use a secure connection. This can be set in your web.config like this:

<network host="smtp.gmail.com" enableSsl="true" ... />

OR

The SSL should be enable on the webserver as well. Refer following link

Enabling SSL on IIS 7.0

If you get the error  Unrecognized attribute  enableSsl   when following the advice to add that parameter to your web config  I found that I was able to workaround the error by adding it to my code file instead in this format   SmtpClient smtp   new SmtpClient    smtp EnableSsl   true   try       smtp Send mm     catch  Exception ex        MsgBox  Message not emailed      ex ToString         This is the system net section of my web config    lt system net gt     lt mailSettings gt       lt smtp from   lt from email gt   gt         lt network host  smtp gmail com         port  587         userName   lt your email gt          password   lt your app password gt     gt       lt  smtp gt     lt  mailSettings gt   lt  system net gt

This issue haunted me overnight as well  Here s how to fix it    Set host to  smtp gmail com Set port to  587   This is the TLS Port  I had been using all of the other SMTP ports with no success  If you set enableSsl   true like this   Dim SMTP As New SmtpClient HOST  SMTP EnableSsl   True   Trim the username and password fields  good way to prevent errors if user inputs the email and password upon registering like mine does  like this   SMTP Credentials   New System Net NetworkCredential EmailFrom Trim    EmailFromPassword Trim      Using the TLS Port will treat your SMTP as SMTPS allowing you to authenticate  I immediately got a warning from Google saying that my email was blocking an app that has security risks or is outdated  I proceeded to  Turn on less secure apps   Then I updated the information about my phone number and google sent me a verification code via text  I entered it and voila   I ran the application again and it was successful  I know this thread is old  but I scoured the net reading all the exceptions it was throwing and adding MsgBoxes after every line to see what went wrong  Here s my working code modified for readability as all of my variables are coming from MySQL Database   Try     Dim MySubject As String    Email Subject Line      Dim MyMessageBody As String    This is the email body       Dim RecipientEmail As String    recipient gmail com      Dim SenderEmail As String    sender gmail com      Dim SenderDisplayName As String    FirstName LastName      Dim SenderEmailPassword As String    SenderPassword4Gmail       Dim HOST    smtp gmail com      Dim PORT    587   TLS Port      Dim mail As New MailMessage     mail Subject   MySubject     mail Body   MyMessageBody     mail To Add RecipientEmail       mail From   New MailAddress SenderEmail  SenderDisplayName       Dim SMTP As New SmtpClient HOST      SMTP EnableSsl   True     SMTP Credentials   New System Net NetworkCredential SenderEmail Trim    SenderEmailPassword Trim        SMTP DeliveryMethod   SmtpDeliveryMethod Network      SMTP Port   PORT     SMTP Send mail      MsgBox  Sent Message To      amp  RecipientEmail  MsgBoxStyle Information   Sent    Catch ex As Exception     MsgBox ex ToString  End Try   I hope this code helps the OP  but also anyone like me arriving to the party late  Enjoy

If you are passing  like me  all the parameters like port  username  password through a system and you are not allow to modify the code  then you can do that easy change on the web config    lt system net gt     lt mailSettings gt       lt smtp gt         lt network enableSsl  true   gt       lt  smtp gt     lt  mailSettings gt   lt  system net gt
