Answer 1

you must figured out that setting the SmtpClient Credentials property before setting the UseDefaultCredentials = false causes the credentials to be ignored.

fails:

SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient;
smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("richardteunen2@hotmail.com","pass");
smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;

Works:

SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient;
smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("richardteunen2@hotmail.com","pass");
