Send email using gmail: The operation has timed out - asp.net

Question

I´m trying to configure my console application to send an email to the gmail relay server.
the code i´m using is the next :
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args) {
string header;
string body;
string emailTo;
string emailFrom = "anton.selin#inbox.com";
Console.WriteLine("Enter the header : ");
header = Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine("Enter the message body : ");
body = Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine("Enter your email : ");
emailTo = Console.ReadLine();
SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 465);
smtpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("anton.selin1#gmail.com", "**********");
smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
smtpClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
smtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.From = new MailAddress(emailFrom,"anton selin");
mail.To.Add(new MailAddress(emailTo));
mail.Body = body;
mail.Subject = header;
Console.WriteLine("Sending email...");
smtpClient.Send(mail);
Console.WriteLine("Email sent...");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
when i run the code it gives me a timeout error :
{"The operation has timed out."}
how can i configure my application to be able to send email from console app or web app(from localhost)?

Check for this, I think this is your issue
string emailFrom = "anton.selin#inbox.com";
smtpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("anton.selin1#gmail.com", "**********");
mail.From = new MailAddress(emailFrom,"anton selin");
you are using gmail to send your mail whereas you should be using anton.selin#inbox.com credentials to send mail and not Gmail's
Try this code to mail :
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
SmtpClient SmtpServer = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com");
mail.From = new MailAddress(Username);
mail.To.Add(emailTo);
mail.Subject = Subject;
mail.Body = Body;
SmtpServer.Port = 587; // Also Add the port number to send it, its default for Gmail
SmtpServer.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(Username, Password);
SmtpServer.EnableSsl = true;
SmtpServer.Timeout = 20000; // Add Timeout property
SmtpServer.Send(mail);
let me know if it works.
