From: Email address of the sender.

To: Recipient email address(es).

2. System.Net.Mail Class

This method gives us greater control over the email message, but we must first create a new object and adjust its settings.

1. Initially, we must create a New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage instance.

2. Then, set properties like From, To, Subject, Body, etc.

3. Create a New-Object System.Net.Mail.Attachment object for each file we want to attach.

4. Add the attachment objects to the MailMessage.Attachments collection.

5. Create a New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient instance, specifying the SMTP server and potentially authentication details if needed.

6. Use the SmtpClient.Send method to send the email.
