I encountered an error when using this VI to send emails. Because the smtpclient instance is not closed properly, if the sending time is too long, eventually the server will time out on the initially established connection. The error message looks like thisTo avoid this, the instance must be properly terminated. I was googling on this, and found out there is smtpclient.dispose() method. But I can not find it in LabVIEW invoke method. Another alternative is Mailmessage.dispose().
