    Dim Message As New Mail.MailMessage
    Dim utilisateur As String
    Dim pass As String
    Dim server As String

    utilisateur = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("StmpUtilisateur")
    pass = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("SmtpPassword")
    server = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("SmtpServer")

    Message.From = "[email protected]"
    Message.To = "[email protected]"
    Message.Subject = "test"
    Message.Body = "salut je voulais savoir comment tu allais"


    Message.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate", "1")
    Message.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername", utilisateur)
    Message.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtppassworld", pass)
    SmtpMail.SmtpServer = server
    Try
        SmtpMail.Send(Message)
    Catch ex As Exception
        Label1.Text = ex.Message

First, it is recommended to use System.Net.Mail instead of SmtpMail, since the latter has been declared obsolete by Microsoft.

Second, the Gmail SMTP server requires a secure connection which can be set using SmtpClient.EnableSsl.

Your example could be changed to the following:

Sub SendSimpleMail()

    Dim utilisateur As String = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("StmpUtilisateur")
    Dim pass As String = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("SmtpPassword")
    Dim server As String = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("SmtpServer")

    Dim Message As New Mail.MailMessage()
    Message.From = "[email protected]"
    Message.To = "[email protected]"
    Message.Subject = "test"
    Message.Body = "salut je voulais savoir comment tu allais"

    ' You won't need the calls to Message.Fields.Add()

    ' Replace SmtpMail.SmtpServer = server with the following:
    Dim client As New SmtpClient(server) 
    client.Port = 587
    client.EnableSsl = true  
    client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(utilisateur,pass);

    Try
        client.Send(Message)
    Catch ex As Exception
        ' ...
    End Try

End Sub

If you replace the appsettings in the web.config with the following specific block, the SmtpClient will automatically configure itself accordingly:

<system.net>
   <mailSettings>
      <smtp from="[email protected]">
         <network host="smtp.gmail.com" 
                  password="12345678" 
                  userName="[email protected]"
                  enableSsl="true"
                  port=587/>
      </smtp>
   </mailSettings>
</system.net>

This would reduce your method to:

Sub SendSimpleMail()

    Dim Message As New Mail.MailMessage()
    Message.To = "[email protected]"
    Message.Subject = "test"
    Message.Body = "salut je voulais savoir comment tu allais"

    Dim client As New SmtpClient() 

    Try
        client.Send(Message)
    Catch ex As Exception
        ' ...
    End Try

End Sub

You will need to set the port number to be used when sending via gmail using the smtpserverport property

I think this is 587 for Google

Also I believe that gmail will require an SSL connection which you can set using the smtpusessl property

MailMessage msg = new MailMessage {From = new MailAddress(txtGAddress.Text, “Sender’s Name”)};
msg.To.Add(new MailAddress(txtTo.Text));
msg.Subject = txtSubject.Text;
msg.Body = txtMessage.Text;
msg.IsBodyHtml = true;

SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient
{
Host = “smtp.gmail.com”,
Credentials = new NetworkCredential(txtGAddress.Text, txtGPassword.Text),
Port = 587,
EnableSsl = true
};

Label1.Visible = true;

try
{
smtp.Send(msg);
Label1.Text = “Email sent accessfully.”;
}
catch (Exception exeption)
{

Label1.Text = exeption.Message;
}
