If you are developping a Universal WinRT Windows Phone application, you could use the "Windows.ApplicationModel.Email.EmailMessage" namespace as the "Microsoft.Phone.Tasks.EmailComposeTask" namespace doesn't work on WinRT application.

Then, uses this code to create and launch a new email.

// Create your new email message.
var em = new EmailMessage() ;

// Add as much EmailRecipient in it as you need using the following method.
em.To.Add(new EmailRecipient("yourname@yourdomain.com"));
em.Subject = "Your Subject...";
em.Body = "Your email body...";
// You can add an attachment that way.
//em.Attachments.Add(new EmailAttachment(...);

// Show the email composer.
await EmailManager.ShowComposeNewEmailAsync(em);

I hope it will solve your (or other developers) problem.
