Mailkit is the new official replacement for the SMTPClient as indicated
here.
There are
much better tutorials than anything I can write right now, but here’s a quick primer (there’s also a good tutorial in the Readme for Mailkit)
Nuget is nice sometimes.
The usage is also fairly straightforward. Below is a generalised snippit for SENDING an email and the tutorials above cover both sending and receiving.
Expand/Collapse csharp
var message = new MimeMessage();
message.To.AddRange(emailMessage.To.Select(t => new MailboxAddress(t.Name, t.Address)));
message.From.AddRange(emailMessage.From.Select(f => new MailboxAddress(f.Name, f.Address)));
message.Subject = emailMessage.Subject;
message.Body = new TextPart(TextFormat.Text)
{
Text = emailMessage.Content
};
using (var emailClient = new SmtpClient())
{
emailClient.Connect(_emailConfiguration.SmtpServer, _emailConfiguration.SmtpPort, true);
emailClient.AuthenticationMechanisms.Remove("XOAUTH2");
emailClient.Authenticate(_emailConfiguration.SmtpUserName, _emailConfiguration.SmtpPassword);
emailClient.Send(message);
emailClient.Disconnect(true);
}var message = new MimeMessage();
message.To.AddRange(emailMessage.To.Select(t => new MailboxAddress(t.Name, t.Address)));
message.From.AddRange(emailMessage.From.Select(f => new MailboxAddress(f.Name, f.Address)));
message.Subject = emailMessage.Subject;
message.Body = new TextPart(TextFormat.Text)
{
Text = emailMessage.Content
};
using (var emailClient = new SmtpClient())
{
emailClient.Connect(_emailConfiguration.SmtpServer, _emailConfiguration.SmtpPort, true);
emailClient.AuthenticationMechanisms.Remove("XOAUTH2");
emailClient.Authenticate(_emailConfiguration.SmtpUserName, _emailConfiguration.SmtpPassword);
emailClient.Send(message);
emailClient.Disconnect(true);
}_emailConfiguration is just a config dump and makes environment changes easy.
