SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
      client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
      client.EnableSsl = true;
      client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
      client.Port = 587;

      // setup Smtp authentication
      System.Net.NetworkCredential credentials =
          new System.Net.NetworkCredential("gmailusername@gmail.com", "gmailpassword");
      client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
      client.Credentials = credentials;

      MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
      msg.From = new MailAddress("gmailusername@gmail.com");
      msg.To.Add(new MailAddress("xyz@gmail.com"));
      msg.Subject = "This is a test Email subject";
      msg.IsBodyHtml = true;
      msg.Body = string.Format("<html><head></head><body>Test HTML Email</body>");
      try
      {
          client.Send(msg);
          //lblMsg.Text = "Your message has been successfully sent.";
      }

      catch (Exception ex)
      {
          //lblMsg.ForeColor = Color.Red;
          //lblMsg.Text = "Error occured while sending your message." + ex.Message;

      }
