How can I “silently” (without user’s intervention needed) send an email from a C# Windows 8 “Metro”/Store/Modern UI app?
Based on what I glean from here:
It may be that I can use my app as a Share Source, targeting the built-in email client, and IT will send my email on. Make sense?
I’m thinking Raw Notifications (http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Raw-notifications-sample-3bc28c5d) might be in my future.
WinRT doesn’t include the System.Net.Mail namespace, so if you want to directly send an email from your app, you need to manually connect to your mail web service, opening a socket to the SMTP port, etc.
Otherwise, you need to call something like a WCF service that receives parameters and sends the mail.
