return false;
}
}
}
Web.config
<appSettings>
<add key="SenderEmail" value="abc#gmail.com" />

</appSettings>

Answer 1

Try to use SmtpClient without object initializer:
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();

Answer 2

I have solved my problem because I was using wrong port number. When I use
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587);
instead of
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 578);
I got email there.

Answer 3

you insert wrong port you can use simple 587 and also 25
