Hi Shabdar,
I am new to ASP.Net developement and I want to use my gmail account when sending password retrieval emails. I think the standard controls that visual web developer 2008 provide are really neat but I cant get the app to send the mail via gmail's SMTP. How should i use your code in such a way that will allow me to send the mails that the controls generate via gmails smtp? => Gavin Lumsden (Sunday 20-Apr-08 08:38 AM)
