Email handling in C#

I need to know the object name for handling emails in C#/.NET Framework.

From stackoverflow

• System.Net.Mail is the namespace to look in. Start with SmtpClient or MailMessage.

• You need the namespace System.Net.Mail.

  Here is an example from the ScottGu's blog.

  MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
  message.From = new MailAddress("sender@foo.bar.com"); 
  
  message.To.Add(new MailAddress("recipient1@foo.bar.com"));
  message.To.Add(new MailAddress("recipient2@foo.bar.com"));
  message.To.Add(new MailAddress("recipient3@foo.bar.com")); 
  
  message.CC.Add(new MailAddress("carboncopy@foo.bar.com"));
  message.Subject = "This is my subject";
  message.Body = "This is the content";
  
  
  SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
  client.Send(message);
  

• In addition to Ekeko's answer if you would like to use an external mail server you must specify the host in the SmtpClient constructor.

  SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("mail.yourmailserver.com");
  

  And you might also need authentication to be specified if your server requires it.

  client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
  

• These answers are assuming that you are asking about SMTP handling. POP3 is not handled natively in the .NET framework. You will have to purchase a third-party library. I'd recommend the Ostrosoft POP3 library.

• There is a bunch of questions in stack Overflow that describes how you can send.

  • Sending E-mail using C#
  • send email c#
