How do I send an email from a Windows Phone 8 application?

Question

In a Windows Forms project, I used the SmtpClient and MailMessage class in order to send information by email.

Is there an equivalent for Windows Phone 8?

Answer 1

It's really simple! This is from MSDN:

First you should add:

    using Microsoft.Phone.Tasks;

to your code, and then for personalizing and going to the mail app add this:

    EmailComposeTask emailComposeTask = new EmailComposeTask();

    emailComposeTask.Subject = "message subject";
    emailComposeTask.Body = "message body";
    emailComposeTask.To = "recipient@example.com";
    emailComposeTask.Cc = "cc@example.com";
    emailComposeTask.Bcc = "bcc@example.com";

    emailComposeTask.Show();
