using MailBee;
using MailBee.SmtpMail;

// Put the code below inside your class.

// Login callback function.
private void LoginCallback(IAsyncResult result)
{
    Smtp mailer = (Smtp)result.AsyncState;

    mailer.EndLogin();
    MessageBox.Show("Authentication succeeded");

    // Close the connection.
    mailer.Disconnect();
}

// The actual code.
private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    Smtp mailer = new Smtp();

    mailer.SmtpServers.Add("smtp.somehost.com", "jdoe", "secret");

    // Connect to SMTP server and say Hello.
