+> We don't recommend that you use the `SmtpClient` class for new development because `SmtpClient` doesn't support many modern protocols. Use [MailKit](https://github.com/jstedfast/MailKit) or other libraries instead.

+The `SmtpClient` class is obsolete in Xamarin. However:
+
+- It is included in the .NET Standard 2.0 and later versions and therefore must be part of any .NET implementation that supports those versions.
+- It is present and can be used in .NET Framework 4 through .NET Framework 4.8.
+- It is usable in .NET Core, but its use isn't recommended.
 
- The classes shown in the following table are used to construct email messages that can be sent using <xref:System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient>.
