Try DevMvcComponent 3.0

Install-Package DevMVCComponent

use this readme at https://github.com/aukgit/DevMvcComponent.

var gmailServer = new GmailServer("[email protected]", "password");
gmailer.QuickSend("[email protected]", "Subject", "HTML body");

You are good to go then.

Install-Package OpenPop.NET

Take a look of OpenPop.NET: https://github.com/foens/hpop

using (var client = new Pop3Client())
{
    client.Connect("pop.gmail.com", 995, useSsl: true,
        receiveTimeout: 30 * 1000, sendTimeout: 60 * 1000,
        certificateValidator: null);

    client.Authenticate("username", "password");

    var messageUids = client.GetMessageUids();
    foreach (var messageUid : messageUids)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Received email: " + messageUid);
    }
}
