Hello,

This issue is actually due to changes in how Google handles newer and older email clients. The SmtpClient is considered to be an older client. The fix is actually two parts that requires changing the settings on the GMail account and changing the port number.

1. For the GMail account settings you need to allow less secure apps to access your account. See: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255
2. The second is to change the port from 465 to 587

This should solve the issue.
