                "password");
            sc.Send(mail);

You should use absolute URL instead of relative URL, I mean src='../images/" part won't work. — doganak, Dec 12 '16 at 09:31

You should not add physical/relative path to image file in your email body as the email client will most likely be not able to access the image at the physical location. Right approach would be to embed image with your email by attaching the image as an attachment with the email and then using content id of the attached image in the images' source attribute in mail body HTML.
Code excerpt below:-

Attachment att = mail.AddAttachment( "d:\\img\\image.jpg" ); //Path to the image file
string contentId = "Image1";
att.ContentID = contentId; //content id can be any string value
mail.HtmlBody = "<html><body><img src=\"cid:" + contentId + "\"></body></html>"; //Use content id as image source

I was able to send image within email body using

   **emailbody.Append("<img src="imagePathHere">");**

Through this line of code my image was embedded in the body of my email
