Mails sent from within app will only use the default mail account in Settings.

EDIT: Here is a sample sendEmail() method:

-(IBAction) sendEmail{
    if(![MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]){
        //show info msg to user
        return;
    }
    MFMailComposeViewController *controller = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
    controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
    [controller setSubject:@"Hello"];
    [controller setMessageBody:@"How are you?" isHTML:NO];
    [controller addAttachmentData:UIImageJPEGRepresentation(myImage,0.8) mimeType:@"image/jpeg" fileName:@"fileName.jpg"];
    [self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
    [controller release];
}

You will need the addAttachmentData method for attachments.

You will also need to implement the didFinishWithResult method to discard the MFMail controller

-(void) mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult) result error:(NSError *) error{
    [self becomeFirstResponder];
    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

Make sure your the class where you write these methos implements the < MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate > protocol

Hope this helps!

You could use the SKPSMTPMessage framework for this. I've used it a few times, and it works OK. I would recommend using apple's method though
