                var mail = new MailMessage();
                mail.From = new MailAddress(youremail.Text);
                mail.To.Add(txtreceiver.Text);
                mail.Subject = txtsubject.Text;
                mail.IsBodyHtml = true;

                SmtpServer.Port = 465;
                SmtpServer.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
                SmtpServer.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(youremail.Text, yourpass.Text);
                SmtpServer.EnableSsl = true;
                SmtpServer.Send(mail);

            }
            catch (Exception s)

Firstly, you must use port 587 as @user1666620 suggested in the comments.

Then you will also need to allow "less secure" devices to access that GMail account. Click on your account avatar, then "My Account" -> "Sign-in & Security" -> "Connected Apps & Sites". At the bottom of that page, toggle the "Allow less secure apps" option.
