How to send email to google email?

Question

I have this code to send emails but there is an error .... I searched on google and I saw most of the codes that are used are similar to mine...

 MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
                    SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();

                    message.From = new MailAddress(test.host.com);
                    message.To.Add(new MailAddress(test@gmail.com));
                    //not the actual email just a dummy value
                    message.Subject = "Sending mail";
                    message.Body = "testing";

                    smtp.Port = 465;
                    smtp.Timeout = 30 * 1000,
                    smtp.Host = "host.com.sg";
                    smtp.EnableSsl = true;
                    smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
                    smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
                    smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
                    smtp.Send(message);
                    MessageBox.Show("Message has been sent");

The new error i received was failure sending mail

You're using the wrong port for starters. Compare your code to a working example in the duplicate. — Jeremy Thompson, Sep 25 '17 at 02:12
I am not using the wrong port because i am not using gmail to send... — bob, Sep 25 '17 at 02:33

Maybe you need to give access to the account to unreliable applications. Check at: https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
