The way I ended up implementing email was by using a gmail account as an smtp server. If you google that you can find some helpful tutorials but here's the code that worked for me.

using System.Net.Mail;
using System.Net.Mime;
using System.Threading;
using System.ComponentModel;

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.To.Add(customer@email.com);
mail.From = new MailAddress(from@website.com);
mail.Subject = Email Subject;

string Body = Main message;
mail.Body = Body;

mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.Host = smtp.gmail.com;
smtp.Port = 587;
smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential
(your_login@gmail.com, your_password);
smtp.EnableSsl = true;
smtp.Send(mail);

those parameters are all strings, by the way, but they didn't show up for some reason.
