Password Recovery Control Timeout Connecting to Gmail

I am using password recovery control and i am getting an error

The operation has timed out.

The web.config has the following code:

<system.net>
        <mailSettings>
            <smtp from="admin@mysite.com">
                <network host="smtp.gmail.com" password="gmailPassword"
                    port="465" userName="username@gmail.com" />
            </smtp>
        </mailSettings>
</system.net>

<membership defaultProvider="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider">
            <providers>
                <clear/>
                <add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="LocalSqlServer" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true" requiresUni开发者_JS百科queEmail="true" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" minRequiredPasswordLength="6" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" passwordAttemptWindow="10" applicationName="/" passwordFormat="Clear"/>
            </providers>
        </membership>

I have dropped the password recovery control, for automated e-mail, onto the page but it doesn't work.

What am i missing?

Tools used: asp.net 4 in VS2010

Gmail uses port 587, not 465.

<system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp deliveryMethod="Network">
        <network host="smtp.gmail.com" port="587" userName="username@gmail.com" password="gmailPassword" />
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>

It's possible because Gmail requires SSL to be enabled for SMTP.

If you are using .NET 4.0, you can add set enableSsl="true". If you are using an older version of .NET, see How to enable SSL for SmtpClient in Web.config.
