Firstly, please do not repeat posts - this is not your private helpdesk...

Yes, I you give them time - it's Sunday morning and there aren't so many
volunteers in the group. N.B. note the word "volunteers"...

can i use hotmail e-mail to send emails in asp.net(vb code)?

No: http://www.systemnetmail.com/faq/1.3.aspx

should i pay for new email, so i can use smtp?

If you want to use the .NET Framework to send emails natively using the
System.Net.Mail namespace, then you need a relay server or an SMTP server /
service...

No worries.

I believe hotmail disabled their ability to do non-web-based email sends.
There used to be a hotmail article at codeproject.com.
But I don't think you can use hotmail.

Gmail is an option.

You can work through the downloadable code there. There are 3 different
email authentication setups, and you'll see that in the downloadable code.
One of them is the previously mentioned gmail.

This is volunteer stuff. As previously noted, you need to exercise a little
patience with a response.
Especially on the weekend.


Good luck.
