There are several things here:

1) You don't need to use GMail as the relay server just because you want to
send email *to* a Gmail account...

2) What you mean by "can't archive it"? What archive are you talking
about...?

3) The MailMessage() object declaration is incorrect:

Here is sample working Gmail Sender code. Watch carefully at everything that
is done:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace PAB.Utils
{
public static class Sender
{
public static void SendGmail(string userName, string password,
string mailFrom,
string mailTo,string subject, string
message,bool isBodyHtml)
{
System.Net.Mail.MailMessage msg = new
System.Net.Mail.MailMessage(mailFrom,mailTo,
subject, message);
msg.IsBodyHtml = isBodyHtml;
System.Net.NetworkCredential cred = new
System.Net.NetworkCredential(userName, password);
System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient mailClient = new
System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com",587);
mailClient.EnableSsl = true;
mailClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
mailClient.Credentials = cred;
mailClient.Send(msg);
}
}
}

You should not send your message to gmail directly.

Instead, use the SMTP server that belongs to your domain/internet provider.

If you have a question then ask and do not forget to provide specific
problem you face with descriptive error you get (if any)
