Send an Email from My App Without Using Mfmailcomposeviewcontroller

Send mail without MFMailComposeViewController

This is not supported by the iPhone SDK, probably because Apple doesn't want you to do it.

Why not? My guess: Because it's easy to abuse. If we knew user's email address, we could spam them, we could fake emails from them, etc. Imagine finding out an iPhone app sent an email as you without your knowledge -- not cool, even if the app had good intentions.

So, anything you do to get around that, is likely to get you rejected from the app store.

Having said all that, you could basically write your own smtp interaction code to chat with the user's outgoing mail server. For example, if the user has a gmail account, you could ask them for their email and password, you'd have to know how to talk to the gmail servers, and send email through them.

Going that route means asking the user for their username, password, and either asking for or figuring out their mail server information. Another choice is to send directly from the phone (your own smpt server, not just a client), which is a bit more coding. And if you write your own server, the mail you send is more likely to be blocked since your originating IP might not match the domain on the sender's email.

There also exist some libraries that might help out. Previous related question:

Send email without user interaction in iOS App

The simple answer is "No".

It is against Apple guidelines. You cannot send mail without user interaction (action on send button).

As an alternate option, you can use power of web server/web service. Send information/data to your web service using web service request and can send an email from you web server. (Note: Mail sender id will not be email id of application user.)

You can try this but remember, it's against Apple guidelines and Apple may reject your app.

How to send mail from iphone app without showing MFMailComposeViewController?

Sending emails programmatically, without user intervention, from an iphone application, cannot be implemented using any of the Apple frameworks. It could be possible in a jailbroken phone but then it would never see the inside of App Store.

If you want control of email sending, then a better way would be to set up a web service (at your server end) you can post to using an HTTP request. If you are posting to only one address this can work very well, although you may want to get the user to input their return mail address.

Otherwise only the standard dialog is available (this relies on using whatever account they've setup on the device).
