Question

I am new to iphone app development, i have created my own app, i want to know whether we can setup the email address for our own app or we have to use only the email that was setup in the iphone. If we can please give me an idea of how to do it.

Mails sent from within app will only use the default mail account in Settings.

EDIT:
Here is a sample sendEmail() method:

-(IBAction) sendEmail{
    if(![MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]){
        //show info msg to user
        return;
    }
    MFMailComposeViewController *controller = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
    controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
    [controller setSubject:@"Hello"];
    [controller setMessageBody:@"How are you?" isHTML:NO];
    [controller addAttachmentData:UIImageJPEGRepresentation(myImage,0.8) mimeType:@"image/jpeg" fileName:@"fileName.jpg"];
    [self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
    [controller release];
}

You will need the addAttachmentData method for attachments.

You will also need to implement the didFinishWithResult method to discard the MFMail controller

-(void) mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult) result error:(NSError *) error{
    [self becomeFirstResponder];
    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

Make sure your the class where you write these methos implements the < MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate > protocol

Hope this helps!
