Trying to send email from inside my application. Have traced everything in the program and everything appears fine.

Connection is made to my smtp server (shown in log files) but the message is never sent. Is there something wrong with my code or is it something else????????

    Private Sub sendAsEmailButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles sendAsEmailButton.Click

        Dim form As New EmailData()
        form.ShowDialog()

        Dim toaddress = form.toAddressTextBox.Text
        Dim ccaddress = form.ccAddressTextBox.Text

        Try

            Dim msg As New MailMessage()
            msg.From = New MailAddress("my@email.com")
            msg.To.Add(toaddress)
            If Not ccaddress = "" Then
                msg.CC.Add(ccaddress)
            End If

            msg.Subject = "forced message title"
            msg.IsBodyHtml = False
            msg.Body = BuildMessage() 'returns message body as string
         
            Dim smtp As New SmtpClient("mail.mysmtpserver.com")
            smtp.Port = 25
            smtp.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("myuaername", "mypassword")
            smtp.Send(msg)

        Catch ex As Exception
            
        End Try
    End Sub

Depending on your email host, you might need to try a different port
Here's a post with a working version using hotmail. I'm pretty sure it works with gmail (changing the smtp client of course)
