Not able to send email using SMTP through my .net MVC web application

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.To.Add("[email protected]");
mail.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
mail.Subject = "test";
string Body = "test";
mail.Body = Body;
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
smtp.Port = 495; //Also tried with 587
smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "passwordOfSome_id");
smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
smtp.EnableSsl = true;
smtp.Send(mail);

I am trying to run this code on my localhost. This code is written in my MVC3 web application hosted on IIS7. I am getting this SMTP exception -

Failure sending mail (Message=A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 173.194.66.109:587.

I have tried swapping the from and to addresses also. Please help!

You might want to try enabling support for "less secure apps" in your gmail account, because your code looks fine. Although I'd stick to port 587.

See here: https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
