Yeeee @Hobbes the Tige answer is good but...

Let's make it even better! What if user doesn't have Mail app (like I don't). You can handle it by trying out other mail apps.

if MFMailComposeViewController.canSendMail() {
   self.showMailView.toggle()
} else if let emailUrl = Utils.createEmailUrl(subject: "Yo, sup?", body: "hot dog") {
   UIApplication.shared.open(emailUrl)
} else {
   self.alertNoMail.toggle()
}

createEmailUrl

static func createEmailUrl(subject: String, body: String) -> URL? {
        let to = YOUR_EMAIL
        let subjectEncoded = subject.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlHostAllowed)!
        let bodyEncoded = body.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlHostAllowed)!

        let gmailUrl = URL(string: "googlegmail://co?to=\(to)&subject=\(subjectEncoded)&body=\(bodyEncoded)")
        let outlookUrl = URL(string: "ms-outlook://compose?to=\(to)&subject=\(subjectEncoded)")
        let yahooMail = URL(string: "ymail://mail/compose?to=\(to)&subject=\(subjectEncoded)&body=\(bodyEncoded)")
        let sparkUrl = URL(string: "readdle-spark://compose?recipient=\(to)&subject=\(subjectEncoded)&body=\(bodyEncoded)")
        let defaultUrl = URL(string: "mailto:\(to)?subject=\(subjectEncoded)&body=\(bodyEncoded)")

        if let gmailUrl = gmailUrl, UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(gmailUrl) {
            return gmailUrl
        } else if let outlookUrl = outlookUrl, UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(outlookUrl) {
            return outlookUrl
        } else if let yahooMail = yahooMail, UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(yahooMail) {
            return yahooMail
        } else if let sparkUrl = sparkUrl, UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(sparkUrl) {
            return sparkUrl
        }

        return defaultUrl
    }
