Sorry I can' access the link you mentioned in your post!
I suggest you to try the code below. I used that code in my project before and it worked fine with me.. this is asp.net using c# codes..

try
        {
            MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
            mail.To.Add("[e-mail]");
            mail.From = new MailAddress(email_of [e-mail]);// or could be @gmail.com and etc OR it can be a textbox were you CAN enter your email
            mail.Subject = "Comment/Question";
            string Body = the_textbox_Name_were_you_enter_your_message.text;
                mail.Body = Body;
            mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
            SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
            smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
            smtp.Port = 587;
            smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential
              ("[e-mail]", "your password");
            smtp.EnableSsl = true;
            smtp.Send(mail);
           
        }
        catch
        {
            
        }

dont forget to include this one:

using System.Net.Mail;

make sure that you leave the code as is , just provide your username and password it will work

System.Net.NetworkCredential NetworkCred = new System.Net.NetworkCredential();

[erum]

yes i also provide this line too

smtp.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("reciever email", "password of sender")
smtp.EnableSsl = True

is this u r saying

[vuyiswamb]

no leave it empty as i provided in the article what you need to change its only the username and password of Gmail

[erum]
