            Credentials = new NetworkCredential(@"[email protected]", @"Password"),
            UseDefaultCredentials = false,
            DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network,
            EnableSsl = true
        };

        MailMessage message = new MailMessage()
        {
            From = new MailAddress(@"[email protected]"),
            Subject = @"Test",
            Body = @"Test",
            Priority = MailPriority.Normal
        };

        message.To.Add(@"[email protected]");
        Attachment file = new Attachment(@"C:\Users\Alexander\Documents\File.txt");
        message.Attachments.Add(file);

        client.Send(message);
    }
    catch { }
}

Setting the UseDefaultCredentials will always set the Credentials to null.

So you have to set the UseDefaultCredentials = true/false before you set the Credentials.

For gmail I have

SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";

client.Port = 587;

client.EnableSsl = true;
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "mygmailpassword");
                ////email.DeliveryMethod = System.Net.Mail.SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network ;

PS You may need to enable this:

APPEND:

Download this tool:

And see if you can query that port/address

I get the below results:

=============================================

 *Starting portqry.exe -n smtp.gmail.com -e 587 -p TCP ...
Querying target system called:
 smtp.gmail.com
Attempting to resolve name to IP address...
Name resolved to 74.125.29.109

portqry.exe -n smtp.gmail.com -e 587 -p TCP exits with return code 0x00000000.*
