You can use given function to send mail using Gmail server

public string SendMail(string toList, string from, string ccList, string subject, string body)
{

    MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
    SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient();
    string msg = string.Empty;
    try
    {
        MailAddress fromAddress = new MailAddress(from);
        message.From = fromAddress;
        message.To.Add(toList);
        if (ccList != null && ccList != string.Empty)
            message.CC.Add(ccList);
        message.Subject = subject;
        message.IsBodyHtml = true;
        message.Body = body;
        smtpClient.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";   // We use gmail as our smtp client
        smtpClient.Port = 587;
        smtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
        smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
        smtpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("Your Gmail User Name", "Your Gmail Password");

        smtpClient.Send(message);
        msg = "Successful<BR>";
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        msg = ex.Message;
    }
    return msg;
}
