Ping to it. If its not working, might be a DNS issue. Also confirm that a firewall is not blocking this. Lastly, confirm if the credentials used are valid and correct. – Matt Murdock

Here is my code:

// Send an email
            MailMessage EmailMsg = new MailMessage();
            EmailMsg.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]", "bc photo art lettering");
            EmailMsg.To.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]"));
            EmailMsg.Subject = "someone made an order";
            EmailMsg.Body = "<html><body><div style='border-style:solid;border-width:5px;border-radius: 10px; padding-left: 10px;margin: 20px; font-size: 18px;'> <p style='font-family: Vladimir Script;font-weight: bold; color: #f7d722;font-size: 48px;'> blah blah blah</p><hr><div width=40%;> <p  style='font-size: 20px;'>"Hello" +
                "</div></body></html>";
            EmailMsg.IsBodyHtml = true;
            EmailMsg.Priority = MailPriority.Normal;
            SmtpClient MailClient = new SmtpClient("smtp.live.com", 587);
            MailClient.EnableSsl = true;
            MailClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "yourpassword");
            MailClient.Send(EmailMsg);

    var receiver = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
    var sender = new MailAddress("[email protected]"); 
    var mail = new MailMessage(receiver , sender ); 
    mail.Subject = "Subject";
    mail.Body = "Body";

    var smtp = new SmtpClient();
    smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
    smtp.Port = 587; //Should be working
    smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("[email protected]", password");
    smtp.EnableSsl = true;
    smtp.Send(mail);
