How to implement it in .NET 6
Step 1: Install the MailKit Nuget Package
Step 2: Set up your SMTP server details
I have created a EmailConfiguration section in my appSettings and added all necessary information , I am using gmail to send emails so that is why host is smtp.gmail.com
One important thing that you should keep in mind that the password written above is not password of your Gmail account rather it is a password that you generated for sending emails
To generate this password follow these steps
Open Gmail —> Click on Manage Google Account —> In search google account section , type App Passwords —> This window will show up
For app select Mail and for device select windows computer , then click on generate and it will show you an auto generated password put that password in appsetting
Step 3: Create a new Service for Email
Step 4: Register Dependencies
Register dependencies of your EmailService and EmailConfiguration
Now inject IEmailService where you need it and you are good to go.
