It looks like one issue is in the text that I bolded above. Do you have an email address at Gmail [[email protected]][email protected][/email] and a password "mypassword"?

EDIT: it won't let me bold it. :( It is the line of code with the "[b]" next to it.

yes i do but i changed them for this post, for obvious reasons. i'm not sure if its an error with my code or the domian or smtp client and port details and was wondering if anyone else can get this to work?

My apps send from gmail smtp clients all the time. Mine doesn't contain the domain param. Just auth = new NetworkCredentials("[email protected]", "password"); is all I do.

    • I tried to get the latest secureboot certificate for my old Dell 7010 Optiplex machine.   I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake.  Now when secure boot is on. The machine doesn't boot and complains about no booting devises.  The computer's secure boot can't find where to boot and the information apparently has to be entered manually.  Secureboot's settings are now years old and it can't find a new configuration.  What could be done here? There are plenty of files to choose from in the secureboot menu, but I don't know what to put there for each of the four Windows 11 upgraded from 10..... originally who knows what (used machine)
    • I see you're still rocking that g700 mouse
    • They need to follow the standard for AAA game but they will go at lowest level for triple a game because will sell more, earn kudos and the milk it for years anyway. look how much they milked gta 5 and how they milked the original 3 - San Andreas and vice city. it is probably going to be a fun game but then they allowed someone to remake classics that somehow were more broken and worse then original i hope they don’t ###### up this one!!!
