Hi everyone!

I am creating a forgot password screen for my application for users to reset their passwords. The program is then supposed to send emails with the updated password to the email account associated with the username. The current status is is that the program freezes when it reaches the smtp.send(message) command and eventually times out. I've tried this with the gmail server information and my smtp server here at my work. No email is being sent at all. Does anyone know if this has to do with the code or with an email setting?

Thanks everyone!

MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
message.To.Add(userEmail);
message.From = new MailAddress("***@gmail.com");
message.Subject = "New test mail";
message.Body = "Hello test message succeed";
message.IsBodyHtml = true;
message.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII;
message.Priority = System.Net.Mail.MailPriority.High;
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.EnableSsl = true;
smtp.Port = 587;
smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");

try
{
     smtp.Send(message);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
     throw ex;
}
