How to send email with an attachment using Windows Phone 7 API?

Is it possible with WP7 (Mango 7.1) to send email with attachments?
I've seen some posts about using a webservice to send the email, but I was hoping that this is no longer needed in 7.1

Would it be possilbe to serialize my attachment and put it in as the body of the message? The attachment I want to send is around 5MB, would the Body be able to hold that much data ?

If I did go with the WebService route is there any public webservices that will do this? Its a free app so standing up my own server isnt going to happen.

No, there's no way to send attachments via the EmailComposeTask in Mango. The only option is to do what you read and use a web service.

  • is it possible to create a custom screen to send emails using an external SMTP server then? – xus Apr 04 '12 at 09:06
  • Yes, if you use your own SMTP server and custom web services, you can send emails with attachments. – keyboardP Apr 04 '12 at 12:58
