To send an email from iPhone application you need to do below list of task.

Step 1: Import #import In your controller class where you want to send an email.

Step 2: Add the delegate to your controller like shown below

 @interface  : UIViewController 

Step 3: Add below method for send email.

 - (void) sendEmail {
 // Check if your app support the email.
 if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]) {
    // Create an object of mail composer.
    MFMailComposeViewController *mailComposer =      [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
    // Add delegate to your self.
    mailComposer.mailComposeDelegate = self;
    // Add recipients to mail if you do not want to add default recipient then remove below line.
    [mailComposer setToRecipients:@[]];
    // Write email subject.
    [mailComposer setSubject:@“”];
    // Set your email body and if body contains HTML then Pass “YES” in isHTML.
    [mailComposer setMessageBody:@“” isHTML:NO];
    // Show your mail composer.
    [self presentViewController:mailComposer animated:YES completion:NULL];
 }
 else {
 // Here you can show toast to user about not support to sending email.
}
}

Step 4: Implement MFMailComposeViewController Delegate

- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(nullable NSError *)error {
[controller dismissViewControllerAnimated:TRUE completion:nil];


switch (result) {
   case MFMailComposeResultSaved: {
    // Add code on save mail to draft.
    break;
}
case MFMailComposeResultSent: {
    // Add code on sent a mail.
    break;
}
case MFMailComposeResultCancelled: {
    // Add code on cancel a mail.
    break;
}
case MFMailComposeResultFailed: {
    // Add code on failed to send a mail.
    break;
}
default:
    break;
}
}
