use the code :

VB

Dim s As New SmtpClient
       s.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"
       s.Port = 587
       s.EnableSsl = True
       's.Timeout = 200
       s.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("youremail@gmail.com", "yourpassord")

       Dim m As New MailMessage
       m.To.Add("useremail@hotmail.com")
       m.From = New MailAddress("youremail@gmail.com")
       m.Subject = "subiect text"
       m.Body = "email body text"
       s.Send(m)
       Label6.Text = "sent email"
