@MainaJauro what does PHP have to do with sending email from a windows form?
there are more than adequate tools to send email directly from C# like SmtpClient or MailKit
I tried sending email using windows form, but not working, I guess due to some authentications of SMTP. So I think may be I can make a request to any HttpClient to communicate with my hosted PHP script passing some credentials so it can send the message using localhost. But that seems not working. My goal is just to send email using Windows form without using mail jet, send grid or mail gun
the short answer is you can't send arbitrary emails without using some kind of email sending service
you will be blocked by any mainstream email server you try to send emails to from your own server
in any case, trying to mix languages is never the solution and just makes your code needlessly complicated (and prevents us from being able to help, because this isn't a php server)
If you want to test for development, this is a easy tool to use.
