System.Web.Mail was in .NET Framework v1.1
System.Net.Mail is in .NET Framework v2.0 and greater
Same use, although there is more functionality in System.Net.Mail since it is a later version of the framework.

What All-Star said.
I assume the reason it was moved to a different namespace is because the internet is actually a suite of technologies: e-mail, ftp, http (web), etc. E-mail and the world wide web are two completely different technologies, so e-mail should not be filed under "Web." (E-mail was around way before the world wide web was!)
If you try to use System.Web.Mail in ASP.NET 2.0 (or later) you'll get a warning telling you that the items in that namespace have been depreciated and to use System.Net.Mail instead. However, the last time I checked System.Web.Mail still "works."

From the System.Net.Mail FAQ - http://www.systemnetmail.com/faq/1.1.aspx
"Unlike System.Web.Mail, which was introduced in the 1.0 Framework, it is not built upon the CDO/CDOSYS libraries. Instead it is written from the ground up without any interop. Thus, it is not dependant upon other COM libraries. System.Net.Mail introduces brand new classes for creating and sending email.
Although some functionality has been removed, the new System.Net.Mail namespace is much more versatile than the older CDO dependant System.Web.Mail."
