[zainmr89]

it was a helpful video for an initial like me but my dear friend you should ho deeper. atleast you must have shown us how will it work or i say how to remove your errors ?

in the solution explorer i found "E-mail.ico" in this video. what is that for ??

please reply. And thanx for another nice video :)

[petaluzr]

thx QuackWare

[NikyBS]

I think it's an OK tutorial for what it does, but it's NOT a Client tutorial. This is just basic usage of the Net.Mail assembly. In my opinion a "client" means more than a form to send mail with. Anyway it's a good tut but incorrect title. No disrespect!

[rafaeltejera]

Excellent tutorial.. Good job...

[wuschelbeutel]

I feel a lot has been omitted and this is too high level. How did you make the GUI/form/emailwindow mockup? Why specifically does System.net need to be imported from? etc. On the pro side, you have a clear voice and the video quality is good.

[aerozg]

Nice tutorial! I'm trying to write a small mail client like this one, which would allow me to send an attachment only to the TO: recepient, omitting the attachment from the CC and/or BCC recipients.

[tommyd1905]

Could you help me plz with one of my projects plz ;)

[Bluubization]

How does it work or What's the code for after pushing the Sending Button the application will close when there is no error?

[irkekler123]

hmm i followed this tut couple times and yet still its going wrong somewhere when trying to debug. It says: "ArgumentException was unhandled" and then goes to the part this.label1.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.label­1_Click); of //  // label1 //

Can we just get a coding on a simple Note or Microsoft Word already typed up?

[adiosundfeuerfrei]

why is the project called mailclass?

[Bconnelly2660]

Im new to programming. But following your code. How would I program an attachment. For example, I type everything in the form and but I have an additional button that attaches a file to the email. How would I code that button and when the email is sent will it capture the attachment? Great Video. Very instructive for a beginner like me.

[FuriogamingVideos]

This is working like a charm! You dont really need a SMTP server but you do need some sort of mailling server. If you got a website you can use mail.yourwebsite , port 25.. its easy!

[mpousforpresident]

hi there. very good video indeed. very helpful. i also have a question. in the program i created i put two more text boxes . one for Bcc and one for Cc. the problem i have is that when i don't want to have multiple receivers, in other words when i do not use the Bcc and Cc text boxes, the program doesn't work.

is there a way to make the input in any of the text boxes optional?

not only for the bcc and the cc but also ie for the text or the subject text boxes.

thank you

[tdtimmo]

Great little tutorial so many thanks..I've only dabbled with VBA previously and just starting out with C# and this was a really useful little tutorial and easy to follow..great work, thanks..The code works perfectly when I put in my SMTP server and credentials.

[CrystaliiCode]

Guys, check out my tutorial about email client.. it's much better :)

[TDOffendo]

Funny, you never show us it working. I did it and it gave me the error: Unable to send mail. What exactly did i do wrong?

[QuackWare]

@TDOffendo

I don't have access to a smtp server to actually test sending mail. The code works with a smtp server though.

[TDOffendo]

@QuackWare Ah, ok. Thank you :)

[iKillboy1124]

@QuackWare well, how about: Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo?

[batfink161]

@TDOffendo Your an idiot... he said he didn't have an smtp server he can use so he can't show you it working because you need to have access to an SMTP server to send the mail. And what did you do wrong? do you have an SMTP server? if not theres your problem.

[TDOffendo]

@batfink161 I think you're more of an Idiot. I didn't hear him say he didn't have an SMTP server, until he commented back. If you want to have a go at me, do it at the time. Not almost a year later. Besides, I fixed it like a day or 2 after. Prick.

[iKillboy1124]

@batfink161 Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo. Thankyou

[alias1337x]

hey u should make some thing where u can pulll info from cellphones or emails like names address stuff like that

[EasyTecTalk]

Thank you for this but. if you could send a list in the description of what tools in your tool box you used to make this app

[MrF1maniak]

cant u just put it ona download site and then we dont have to make it

cus ma vbC#C ... wont work with those codes

[QuackWare]

@MrF1maniak What would be the point of the tutorial if I just gave you the code? The point here is to learn :p

[lxXTaCoXxl]

@QuackWare Right? LOL Besides, if you have a website you have a mailing server. So any smart kid can use it. :D Thanks for clearing up my error with the smtp server. That was my only error.

[QuackWare]

@monkeyjej007

I'm pretty sure I can say it how I want and Gooey is much easier then saying G-U-I each time.

[ycats1000]

@QuackWare lol it's pronouced gooey... everyone knows that

[mQtek]

@QuackWare Actually it's about the same thing. GUI and Gooey. Takes the same amount of time unless someone is really slow in the head. Not saying you are, your problem is probably laziness. Then again who can blame you, we live in a society that applaudes it. Anyway good vid.

[compcruzer]

@QuackWare I myself and lots of people i know say it gooey because its easier to say. People need to stop being so critical someitmes. There is a time for being criticil and there is a time to not be....like here.

[HarryPotter3700]

@QuackWare Plus Gooey is more fun to say. :)

[alexdransfield]

@monkeyjej007 Actually, "gooey" is accepted throughout the industry. Just like PIN (Personal Identification Number) is pronounced "pin".

[Greenadee]

@monkeyjej007 actually, according to Wikipedia. :

In computing a graphical user interface (GUI, sometimes pronounced gooey)

So, he's right in saying it the way he is.

[NorwayHack]

@monkeyjej007 Lol, it's not...

[NorwayHack]

@monkeyjej007 It's not...

[monkeyjej007]

@NorwayHack kthx

[MaxPFC]

@monkeyjej007 No one says the letters in software dev circles. phonetic pronunciation it is, has been and will always be. FYI.

[monkeyjej007]

@MaxPFC wow because not enough people have told me. 1 year later

[MaxPFC]

@monkeyjej007 Sorry man, I didn't see the rush to "correct" your blunder ;) didn't mean to jump on the bandwagon. Unfortunately the term "gooey" is so widely used that someone stating it isn't so is like someone telling you the sky is purple. LOL couldn't help myself. Have a good one buddy.

[nikolaos1979]

The port 25 is not valid for every country.

Im my country the valid port is 587

[tHebadteen]

@nikolaos1979 port 25 is the port the server uses for smtp .Its got nothing to do with a country

[nikolaos1979]

Yes, I know the default port which every country uses but for security reasons my country has changed the default port from 25 to 587. I realised that when i made a win app. and i used the port 25 and not worked. I asked my adsl service provider and they told me that port 25 is disabled for secure reasons.

[dudeboy524]

aw shit. I just tried retrieving emails and i got totally lost! Hey QuackWare, can you make a tut to display emails in a C# form?

[CompTechExpert]

Great tutorial

also what computer do you use to program

[Hiteshwar1990]

Sorry mate.

First of all a fantastic way of explanation really appreciate it.

but the problem i am having is that is does not work as it is supposed to , it gives me errors saying the name 'textTo' does not exist in the current context . even though my command line is same as yours so PLEASE HELP

[auronx223]

call ur message box near to: textTo where it says (name) not text >.> should say textbox1 or some

[johnlerytheman]

just use the default name textBox1 or 2....etc

and dont put the declaration of those textboxes on the program itself if it isnt being used.such as a label

[TheCastallion]

i had the same problem..he named his "Text" label "textTo"..just put in the name you used for that label where it says "textTo" and it should work

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

Odd question, could you, using C#, make an e-mail client which could also read your mailbox, and display the content... I hate logging into my mail, and want to know if there is a way for me to make a program which will help me out with that... thanks :D

[dudeboy524]

Nope.

well, maybe.

That would include reading from servers...

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

Which I would find awesome :D

[superawesomesuperkid]

Sorry for so many comments...

It works better if you put everything in a "Try" statement... That way if you get an error, it doesn't crash your program.

[superawesomesuperkid]

Do you use the C4F Developer Toolkit?

[theboss8mcom]

can u make an ftp client?

[theboss8mcom]

great video
