I'd like to show a list of recent unread messages in my app, and was wondering if I could do this without spending all the time to make my app work with email services? Or is there an open source library which deals with that and makes it easy?
As you can imagine, accessing the users emails is a major security breach, and of course is not allowed.
You would have to use your own email client implementation and ask from the user to provide his account credentials.

As the title says, I would like to know if there is any way to send emails without having to use an external service, that charges me for sending the messages, or having to use an SMTP server in which each user has to be registered.
I have also seen pages like email.js but I don't want to have to pay for that if there is a possibility to do it on my own. It is also not useful for me to open the Gmail or messaging application of the device itself since I already know how to do that and it is not what I want.
For better understanding, I will give an example of what I want to do.
What I want is that from my application the user writes a message and from there that email message is sent to several different users from a list, without having to log in or anything, since the emails will be sent from my own email account. gmail that I have specifically created for the application.
I have seen the smtp server but from the information that I have seen that server implies that I have to log in to be able to have the token and that is not what I want because I want that once I configure everything there is no need to do anything else that people receive your messages and that's it.
I don't know if this is possible but I hope someone can help me.
Sending emails without your user logging in would require you to have either the credentials stored in the app (which is unsafe) or use a custom backend server that will host all the credentials that cannot be extracted. I would advise going with the backend route because it is easier to setup and your application will simply perform a HTTP request to get it done.
From the documentation of the mailer package, you can implement the server method pretty easily and get it moving. You will have to find a free web hosting service to deploy to.
There would really be otherwise no other way to get what you desire for virtually free.
I'm looking for a way to allow Yahoo application to read user's emails over IMAP. It works well for old applications (that were created before Yahoo Mail API has deprecated), but trying to access IMAP for new applications gives me an error
[AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] (#AUTH007) Bad scope.
Unfortunately, I have no idea how to add a correct scope for accessing IMAP for new applications. During creation of the app, I was not given a choice to add scope with name even looking like 'mail'.
Is Yahoo API just broken or there is some tricky way to work around?

How can I read & render the email inbox of an email account (IMAP or of iOS Mail app) in my iOS app?
I want to list the current email subjects & time of receipt.
I want to access an IMAP account or even better the email in the iOS Mail
app.
I know MFMailComposeViewController, but this only creates emails. I have read on libetpan and etPanKit here.
Is there a library / example code / open source project doing that or something similar? Including the rendering of an inbox, some settings (account name, password, ...) in a settings bundle, etc.
I see quite some complexity and it would be great to not re-invent the wheel on that.
It is not possible to gain access to the the iOS Mail App data.
You'll have to access the mail server directly using something like Mailcore.
The problem is -
" I have to design one website, which will contain number of blocks. Each block will refer to different email client. That means, a user of this site can see his/her all mail clients in one one blocks."
The user will provide his/her existing mail clients information (Username and Password) at the time of registering into this site.
So, when user comes to the site he will login by providing username and password of this site (and not with user name or password of any of his mail clients) and he will see his home page containing all his existing mail clients opened directly in one one block (without logging in to any of the mail client).
Basically, this website will help the user to use all mail clients in one page.
Will anybody suggest how to do this task ?
It will be better if working codes will be provided.
This sounds quite difficult - you will need to make a good web mail client, and it is very hard to compete with the existing services in this area. For instance, it would be hard to make a webmail client as good as the one gmail has.
If you can make a good webmail client, the rest is quite easy - the user would give login details for POP/IMAP services for each of their email services, and then you could make your server log in to each of them and pull back any mail to display.
It may be easier for you to purchase existing webmail client software, and then wire it up to a database containing user login details to make the website you require.
I've used this component in the past and may help with sending and reading emails/attachement from a variety of sources.

I am so confused. My simple requirement is: i have an application which contains confirmation form i.e. nib file. It contains some textFields like name, age, email etc. I simply want when somebody click on submit button application send background and automatic email to email defined in textField. that email contain all information like name, age etc. User need not to fil anything and it should work in background. There are so many application do the same thing. I am creating booking application.
So how can i impliment this behaviour.
Apple does not provide a way to do this - and for good reason. Sending emails from the phone automatically introduces a lot of security risks.
I am willing to bet that the apps that do this use an intermediary server to which they post the data. When the data is posted then the server handles the sending of the emails.
To do this:
Send an HTTPS POST request to your server application.
From your server application, send an email via SMTP (or APIs built on top of SMTP).
Google AppEngine provides a simple and cheap way to create such a web service, running on top of Google's cloud-computing infrastructure. The sending mail from AppEngine help document includes detailed examples of how to send mail from your server application (assuming you use the Python version of Google AppEngine).
Unfortunately, there is no official feature for this but you could download a third-party library. Refer here for a couple of suggestions.
