You can use your gmail account to send emails from ASP.Net and C#, using SMTP. You need to set SSL credentials. This is not straight forward like a simple SMTP email. After searching for long hours I was able to find a solution. Use following class to send emails using your GMAIL account.

Please supply your gmail user name and password in following class where needed. 

using System.Web.Mail;
using System;
public class MailSender
{
    public static bool SendEmail(
        string pGmailEmail, 
        string pGmailPassword, 
        string pTo, 
        string pSubject,
        string pBody, 
        System.Web.Mail.MailFormat pFormat,
        string pAttachmentPath)
    {
    try
    {
        System.Web.Mail.MailMessage myMail = new System.Web.Mail.MailMessage();
        myMail.Fields.Add
            ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver",
                          "smtp.gmail.com");
        myMail.Fields.Add
            ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport",
                          "465");
        myMail.Fields.Add
            ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing",
                          "2");
        //sendusing: cdoSendUsingPort, value 2, for sending the message using 
        //the network.

        //smtpauthenticate: Specifies the mechanism used when authenticating 
        //to an SMTP 
        //service over the network. Possible values are:
        //- cdoAnonymous, value 0. Do not authenticate.
        //- cdoBasic, value 1. Use basic clear-text authentication. 
        //When using this option you have to provide the user name and password 
        //through the sendusername and sendpassword fields.
        //- cdoNTLM, value 2. The current process security context is used to 
        // authenticate with the service.
        myMail.Fields.Add
        ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate","1");
        //Use 0 for anonymous
        myMail.Fields.Add
        ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername",
            pGmailEmail);
        myMail.Fields.Add
        ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword",
             pGmailPassword);
        myMail.Fields.Add
        ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl",
             "true");
        myMail.From = pGmailEmail;
        myMail.To = pTo;
        myMail.Subject = pSubject;
        myMail.BodyFormat = pFormat;
        myMail.Body = pBody;
        if (pAttachmentPath.Trim() != "")
        {
            MailAttachment MyAttachment = 
                    new MailAttachment(pAttachmentPath);
            myMail.Attachments.Add(MyAttachment);
            myMail.Priority = System.Web.Mail.MailPriority.High;
        }

        System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "smtp.gmail.com:465";
        System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(myMail);
        return true;
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        throw;
    }
}
}

EmailLib.SendEmail.SendEmail("your_gmail_id", 
                             "your_gmail_password", 
                             "

                             "This is email body", 
                             Web.Mail.MailFormat.Text, 
                             "Physical path to your Attachment")
