control.MailServer = "MyServer"
control.From = "me@server.com"
control.SendTo = "recipient@server.com"
control.Subject = "My Subject"
control.MessageText = "This is the message body"
control.Connect()
control.Send()
control.Disconnect()

NOTE: This method has a corresponding asynchronous version (ConnectAsync) for use in the Xamarin environment.
