//This object stores the authentication values
System.Net.NetworkCredential basicAuthenticationInfo = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("xyz@gmail.com", "9583364957");
//Put your own, or your ISPs, mail server name onthis next line

Mail.Gmail.com is not a valid mail server name. Also, you should be using your local ISP mail system, as Google does not always allow this sort of message sending.

And what more detail does it give you? What is in the inner exception? What does the debugger show? What have you tried to fix it?

Remember, we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with, and we can't access your data while your app is running, unlike you!

This is one of the most frequently asked questions and it is extensively documented. Google "c# send email gmail" and you'll find the code you need as well as a list of common problems and solutions you'll find. The ultimate answer is that you shouldn't use gmail to send email at all, you should use the smtp server provided by your web host or network admin.

how to know my smtp host name in my laptop????

You really don't have a clue how email works, do you? It's NOT "in your laptop".

It's the server name and post number you have to use if you want to send an email. This is supplied by your ISP.

The correct SMTP host for gmail is smtp.gmail.com

Other common issues I have seen with gmail:

1. Google does not recognize the connection being used for the particular email account being used. The best thing to do is to go to their Login Activity page and tell them basically that "yes, that was me"
Sign in - Google Accounts[^]

2. Google by default blocks SMTP access under the premise that it is less secure. There is an option to allow "Less Secure Apps" which will allow SMTP access
Account settings: Your browser is not supported.[^]
