Hi Prajwal, Take this one example of Console application :- Add a reference to the System.Web.dll namespace. To do this, follow these steps: On the Project menu, click Add Reference . On the .NET tab, locate System.Web.dll , and then click Select . Note In visual Studio 2005, you do not have to click Select . Click OK in the Add References dialog box to accept your selections. If you receive a prompt to generate wrappers for the libraries that you selected, click Yes . In the code window, replace the whole code with: using System; using System.Web.Mail; namespace WebMail { class Class1 { static void Main(string[] args) { try { MailMessage oMsg = new MailMessage(); // TODO: Replace with sender e-mail address. oMsg.From = "sender@somewhere.com"; // TODO: Replace with recipient e-mail address. oMsg.To = "recipient@somewhere.com"; oMsg.Subject = "Send Using Web Mail"; // SEND IN HTML FORMAT (comment this line to send plain text). oMsg.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html; // HTML Body (remove HTML tags for plain text). oMsg.Body = " Hello World! "; // ADD AN ATTACHMENT. // TODO: Replace with path to attachment. String sFile = @"C:	emp\Hello.txt"; MailAttachment oAttch = new MailAttachment(sFile, MailEncoding.Base64); oMsg.Attachments.Add(oAttch); // TODO: Replace with the name of your remote SMTP server. SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "MySMTPServer"; SmtpMail.Send(oMsg); oMsg = null; oAttch = null; } catch (Exception e) { Console.WriteLine("{0} Exception caught.", e); } } } } //Modify the code where you see "TODO". Hope this will help you :)

Correct, .Net does not provide a way to receive email. Please note that there are articles in this web site that show how to receive email.

To my knowledge, ASP.NET does not include a POP3 (email receive ) component. SMTP is for sending only while a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) server holds incoming email messages until you check your email. go thro' this link u will findout one library Indy.Sockets which is useful for receiving mail in asp.net http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/POP3ClientByChadZHower.aspx ( if ur using gmail then might need to do some settings also in gmail settings->Forwarding & POP/IMAP -> enable POP for all mail & enable IMAP )

As hobbs says use System.Net.Mail

Sam Hobbs · Answer

The System.Web.Mail Namespace documentation says that MailMessage is obsolete; use System.Net.Mail instead. I suggest looking at the articles in this web site.

Search for System.Web only in .Net tab , it shd b thr. and if u are building this code in asp.net website & not in console then u dnt need to add this ref. it wil b alredy present . so add only using System.Web.Mail at d top of ur code.
