iOS Is there any email API for iPhone?

[adeesh]

Hello,

Is there any email API for the iPhone? I was looking on all the resources provided by the Apple. But i didn't find any API for email support in iPhone.

Can anyone please tell me is there any inbuilt support for the email functionality in iPhone?

thanks

There is the mailto: URL protocol as described in the documentation. That is it: there is no other API, way to attach anything etc unless you do all the mail stuff yourself.

You can have a look at this project.

No, you can't send attachments with the mailto method.

K it's been two years any new APIs out there? I'm scouring the net for a lightweight IMAP API, I found a few open-source ones but they all require bulky OpenSSL. I'm trying to write a program that analyzes incoming email and makes realtime decisions based off of it. Would like capability to read and send emails.

Sending emails there are new APIs for. Reading emails: not so much.

Right now I'm triyng to implement a very basic IMAP client (RFC 3501) using a light-weight embedded SSL implementation. It looks like there's a lot of stuff I need to implement, the parsing of the parentheses and multi-part MIME decoding. There's gotta be a better way!

I found a few open-source IMAP clients but they are either really hard to compile or suffer from dependency hell: requiring GTK, OpenSSL, etc... Do I just bite the bullet and link in that blob known as OpenSSL or is there a simple lightweight IMAP client out there?
