If you are new to coding or programming languages, don't worry, we will go step-by-step and cover everything you need to know! Sometimes while developing software, you will find yourself in need of a mechanism to send emails using code.

Maybe you are working on an e-commerce platform, and you want to send email notifications to inform your customers about order updates, or perhaps you want to send mass email promotions. Regardless of whatever you need, sending emails with C-sharp is very easy.

If you have ever tried to set up a work or school email using a mailing application like outlook, then you must have heard of SMTP before.

SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, and it's a standard way to send messages from one email server to another. We will use the Mailkit library, which is a library to send emails through SMTP. We will need to tackle a few things to send an email through code.

First, we need to connect and authenticate with an SMTP server. In this tutorial, we will use Gmail. The Gmail SMTP server domain name is smtp.gmail.com which we will use to send email requests through an SMTP client.
We will also need a Gmail account, and we will use the email address and password to authenticate with the Gmail SMTP server.

We also need a message to send :slight_smile: including the subject and body. After we have authenticated with the SMTP using our login info, we need to send the message.

User-level email clients typically use Port 465 for SSL connections.
