Yes it is Good but in my scenario i have separate Cancel Button How i will Do — Umer Zaman, Sep 22 '17 at 11:45
This question was marked as duplicate before I could put in an answer unfortuantly. I think you are asking the wrong question here. I think what you should have asked was "How to cancel an email mid way" or something like that. Check out https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.mail.smtpclient.sendasynccancel(v=vs.110).aspx . You will need to make the Client a class variable or otherwise available to the cancel button and then on click make the call client.SendAsyncCancel() — Hack, Sep 22 '17 at 11:55
