Hi! I'm trying to use the Recover Password Feature of the ASP.NET (c#) I have the ff configurations:

web configurations
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="account@gmail.com">
<network host="smtp.gmail.com" userName="account@gmail.com" password="password" port="587" enableSsl="true" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>

When I run the application and try to put username on the textbox of the recover password, the page loads and this error appears:
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond xx.xx.xx.xx:587

Can anyone help me what's the problem? and how can I solve it?

0	Thank you for the replies! I've searched all over the internet and looked up the website you suggested too. I guess I couldn't solve this problem. I won't be able to use the Recover Password. Thank you so much for your time and thoughts. Babyeney, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

0	Look, there are many ways to develop password recovery system. As the discussion says in this thread, you are still struggling with just sending emails. When you fix this, you all left work will be easy. You just follow this simple scenario for your system. (i) Ask the user to provide the email address (ii) Search that emails address in databases and reply the same to user about its existence (iii) If email address found then send his password and username record by writing some HTML codes for email body.
