I’m using .NET 3.5, and I want to automatically send a mail. I’m currently using the following:
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem mailMsg =
(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem)outlookApplication.CreateItem(
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem);
mailMsg.To = recipient;
mailMsg.Subject = subject;
mailMsg.Body = body;
mailMsg.Send();
However, I’ve found several articles that seem to imply I should be using the following method:
System.Net.Mail.MailMessage mailMsg = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
mailmsg.To = recipient;
mailmsg.Subject = subject;
mailmsg.Body = body;
Can anyone tell me what the difference between the two namespaces if, and why you might want to use one over the other?

Sending emails from C# using an SMTP server requires only a few lines of code: var smtpClient = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com") { Port = 587, Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password"), EnableSsl = true, }; smtpClient. Send("email", "recipient", "subject", "body");
C# send simple mail with Mailkit Net. Smtp; using MailKit. Security; using MimeKit; var host = "smtp.mailtrap.io"; var port = 2525; var username = "username"; // get from Mailtrap var password = "password"; // get from Mailtrap var message = new MimeMessage(); message.
The first one, I assume, required Outlook to be installed in the machine so that the Office Interop assemblies are installed. The second one is pure .Net framework.
