I Could not understand what is happening on my code. When i try to send an email to another email address it keeps on sending on my gmail account.
eg.
From:xxx@gmail.com
to: yyy@yahoo.com

The email which supposed to be sent on yyy@yahoo.com, instead it send to xxx@gmail.com.
here is my code. I used gmail server on this.

private void btnSend_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
            try
            {
                
                MailMessage mail=new MailMessage();
                MailAddress myAddress = new MailAddress(txtFrom.Text);
                MailAddress myReceipient = new MailAddress(txtTo.Text);

                mail.From = myAddress;
                mail.To.Add(myReceipient.Address);
                
                mail.Subject = txtSubject.Text;
                mail.Body = txtBody.Text;

                client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
                client.Port = 587;
                            
                client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("xxx@gmail.com","<somepassword>");
                client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;   
                client.EnableSsl = true;
                
                client.Send(mail);
                MessageBox.Show("Message Sent");
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
            }
        }

Is the email you are sending from a valid address for that domain? If not then gmail is probably not sending using that address as it doesn't comply with the security credentials you supplied.

yes.. it is a valid email address, perhaps the things that i dont understand is the first time i run it work perfectly but the moment when i re run again, their the problem starts. so i need to close again me work, open again. i do not know if their is a sort of refresh method that refresh the smpt server??

Are you manually logging in to your gmail account between runs of the program?
If so, you could be creating a cache of your credentials that the server is using by default.

Do you have a yahoo account? Can you use the yahoo server to send mail instead of the gmail server?

Thanks you all. I have already solve the problem. I just found out that one of my variable is affecting the the text that had been displayed on my txtTo Textbox. Fool of me i did not see it right away. but any way the code is working it might help on others. Thanks.....
