Hey guys, I guess I got another asp.net question I am trying to send email using smtp authentication through google but I am constantly getting a timed out error and no idea what it might be from the following code its not my firewall or my isp blocking smtp ports so its most probably the code:

        MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();

    String BodyMsg;

    BodyMsg = "Hey " + TxtBoxUsername.Text + "@" + "Welcome to Tiamo your username and password are:@Username: "
        + TxtBoxUsername.Text + "@Password: " + PasswordString + "@You have succesffully registered, you can now login."
        + "@Thank You@Tiamo Team";

    BodyMsg = BodyMsg.Replace("@", System.Environment.NewLine);

    msg.To.Add(new MailAddress(TxtBoxEmail.Text));
    msg.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
    msg.Subject = "Re: Welcome to Tiamo";
    msg.Body = BodyMsg;

    SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient() ;
    client.EnableSsl = true;                                  
    client.Send(msg); 

and this is my web.config email smtp settings:

  <system.net>
<mailSettings>
  <smtp from="[email protected]">
    <network host="smtp.gmail.com" port="465" userName="[email protected]" password="MyLovelyPassword" defaultCredentials="true"/>
  </smtp>
</mailSettings>

Im completely exhausted so I thought the best thing is to pop up a question, hope you can help it will all be much appreciated... thanks anicho.

A: 

I'm affraid google uses another port -> 587 or at least that's what they tell on their configure-gmail-access-in-outlook-help-website
