The MailMessage.To property returns a MailMessageCollection as explained here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.mail.mailmessage.to[^].

The Add method of MailMessageCollection accepts a string of mail addresses separated by comma character as explained here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144695.aspx[^]

Hence, to send mail to multiple mail addresses use Add method of To property of MailMessage object with the Addresses in a string separated by , as shown below

VB

mail.To.Add("add1@hotmail.com,add2@hotmail.com,add3@hotmail.com")

Try this:

C#

string addresses = "abc@123.com;def@123.com;ghi@123.com";
foreach(string address in addresses.split(';'))
  mail.To.Add(address)

Good answer, my 5!

The answer is good.
But Add method accepts comma separated addresses string as shown in answer, which is succinct I think.
