  sending email is a long running process and you dont want to block the UI, use background thread.
  

  using System.Threading.Tasks;
  using System.Net;
  using System.Net.Mail;
  
  TaskScheduler ts = TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext();
  Task.Run(() =>
  {
      using (SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient())
      {
          smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
          smtp.EnableSsl = true;
          smtp.Port = 587;
          smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
          smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("mymailaddress@gmail.com", "password");
          smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
          using (MailMessage message = new MailMessage("mymailaddress@gmail.com", "recipient@mail.com", "subject", "content"))
          {
              message.IsBodyHtml = false;
              message.Priority = MailPriority.High;
              using (Attachment data = new Attachment(@"d:\attachedfile.txt"))
              {
                  message.Attachments.Add(data);
                  smtp.Send(message);
              }
          }
      }
  }).ContinueWith(t =>
                  {
                      MessageBox.Show("Delivered...", "Information", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
                  }, ts);
