on iOS 3+
Import #import in your view controller header.
Then:
-(void)showMailPanel {
MFMailComposeViewController *mailComposeViewController = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
// only on iOS < 3
//if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail] == NO)
// [self launchMailApp]; // you need to
mailComposeViewController.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mailComposeViewController setToRecipients:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"email address1",#"email address 2",nil]];
[mailComposeViewController setSubject:#"your subject"];
[mailComposeViewController setMessageBody:#"your body" isHTML:YES];
mailComposeViewController.delegate = self;
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:mailComposeViewController animated:YES];
[mailComposeViewController release];
}
- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error
{
// Notifies users about errors associated with the interface
switch (result)
{
case MFMailComposeResultCancelled:
NSLog(#"Result: canceled");
break;
case MFMailComposeResultSaved:
NSLog(#"Result: saved");
break;
case MFMailComposeResultSent:
NSLog(#"Result: sent");
break;
case MFMailComposeResultFailed:
NSLog(#"Result: failed");
break;
default:
NSLog(#"Result: not sent");
break;
}
[controller dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
-(void)launchMailApp {
{
NSString *recipients = #"dest_email";
NSString *email = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%#", recipients, subject];
email = [email stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:email]];
}

You need things like this:
//Import this in your .h file
#import <MessageUI/MessageUI.h>
...
MFMailComposeViewController *mailController = [[[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
mailController.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mailController setSubject:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Report a problem - #%#", yourUserID]];
[mailController setToRecipients:[NSArray arrayWithObject:#"support#yourWebsite.com"]];
[self presentModalViewController:mailController animated:YES];
Besides, the parent view controller (the delegate) needs to conform to the MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate protocol:
- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error {
//Extra implementation here...
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
