You need to provide more details about WHAT doesn't work and WHAT errors you encounter — Jakub Konecki

I think Gmail SMTP port should be 465, not 587.

I use 587 successfully, but it is Google... var client = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587) { Credentials = new NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "pw"), EnableSsl = true };

Log in to your account and check Sent folder. It the smtp.Send method doesn't throw an exception it means that the connection is correct.

Have you tried commenting on that article / contact the author?

I guess there are 2 things here:

A. You haven't done anything in catch block. You should consider following in catch block

catch(Exception ex){
DisplayMessage.Text = ex.Message;
DisplayMessage.Visible = true;
}

B. check if the gmail account you are using has smtp with pop3/imap enabled.

try this

    protected void SendMail()
    {
        // any address where the email will be sending
        var toAddress = YourEmail.Text.ToString();
        //Password of your gmail address
        const string fromPassword = "Password";
        // Passing the values and make a email formate to display
        string subject = YourSubject.Text.ToString();
        string body = "From: " + YourName.Text + "\n";
        body += "Email: " + YourEmail.Text + "\n";
        body += "Subject: " + YourSubject.Text + "\n";
        body += "Question: \n" + Comments.Text + "\n";

        SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient();
        MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
        MailAddress fromAddress = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
        smtpClient.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
        smtpClient.Port = 587;
        smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
        smtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
        smtpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("[email protected]", fromPassword);
        message.From = fromAddress;
        message.To.Add(toAddress);
        message.Subject = subject;
        message.Priority = MailPriority.High;
        message.Body = body;
        message.IsBodyHtml = true;
        smtpClient.Send(message);
    }
