here is a quick preview of it...http://lh4.ggpht.com/_blnOia1d0Pw/TQs3BhaCClI/AAAAAAAACco/3vPqJIlyG-M/gmail%20client.JPG

1. First Of All Add the Following Line to your code:

Imports System.Net.Mail

2. Now As Show in the image create the basic layout of the application.

3. Enter you Gmail's user id and pass in the required filed

4. the TO,Subject,Body text box are easily explainable...

5. define the following's

Dim msg As New MailMessage
    Dim i As Integer

6. Now is the Main coding for Send Button.. here it is

msg.To.Add(Me.txtto.Text)
        msg.From = New MailAddress(Me.txtuser.Text)
        msg.Subject = Me.txtsubject.Text
        msg.Body = Me.txtbody.Text
        'msg.Attachments.Add(New Attachment(Me.txtattach.Text))
        '' for attachment

        For i = 0 To Me.ListBox1.Items.Count - 1
            msg.Attachments.Add(New Attachment(Me.ListBox1.Items(i).ToString))
        Next


        Dim smtp As New SmtpClient
        smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"
        smtp.EnableSsl = True
        smtp.Port = 587
        smtp.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential(Me.txtuser.Text, Me.txtpass.Text)
        smtp.Send(msg)

7. Let's see the coding for the attachment button...
