In this article I will explain with an example, how to configure Email SMTP Settings in Web.Config file in ASP.Net.
Mail Server Settings in Web.Config file
Following are the Mail Server settings added in the Web.Config file.
The SMTP Mail settings are stored in the mailSettings sub-section of the system.net section of the Web.Config file.
Note: It is necessary to use the sender’s email address credentials while defining the Gmail SMTP Server Credentials as Gmail the sender’s email address must be same as the Gmail Username specified in credentials.
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="sender@gmail.com">
<network
host="smtp.gmail.com"
port=587"
enableSsl="true"
userName="sender@gmail.com"
password="SenderGmailPassword"
