I want to send an email from within my iPhone application, primarily because i don't want to quit my application. Is there ANY way to do that?

Solution:

1) I found this open source API which does that: http://code.google.com/p/skpsmtpmessage/

Anyone can write their own smtp client for this purpose. (If you can invest that much time - that is)

2) Use a web service to send the message details and handle message sending functionality at server end.

Thanks.

  • Install subversion on your Mac, as well as the command line tools, there are a variety of GUI wrappers available with a a little Googling.
  • If you click the "source" tab on that project you'll see instructions for obtaining the source with subversion

Any Leopard Mac already comes with subversion installed on it. He just needs to follow their instructions for the command line.

The iPhone SDK 3.* has support sending email from with-in your application. Other than that, i found two other solutions that can be used as alternatives (though with iPhone SDK 3.*, not recommended):
