ios4.3.4: MFMailComposer doesn't send an email, but return MFMailComposeResultSent status

Question

I am using MFMailComposer. I send email to gmail, MFMailComposer returns MFMailComposeResultSent status. But I don't received any email. I tested on iphone4 with 4.3.4. What I do wrong?

MFMailComposeViewController *mailPicker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
    mailPicker.mailComposeDelegate = self;

    // Set the subject of email
    [mailPicker setSubject:@"Subject"];
    NSString *emailBody = @"Hello from ios";

    // This is not an HTML formatted email
    [mailPicker setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:NO];


    [self presentModalViewController:mailPicker animated:YES];

    [mailPicker release];


- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error
{
    if (result == MFMailComposeResultFailed) 
 {
    UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Error" message:[error description] delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
    [alertView show];
    [alertView release];
 }
if (result == MFMailComposeResultSent)
 {
    UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Success" message:@"Message has been sent" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
    [alertView show];
    [alertView release];
 }
else
 {
    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
 }
}

EDIT: I found this in console :

DA|Could not open the lock file at /tmp/DAAccountsLoading.lock. We'll load the accounts anyway, but bad things may happen

EDIT2: On iPhone4 with 4.3.4 doesn't work, but on ipod with 4.3 works OK.

Have you tried to reboot the device in order to clear the /tmp directory content? maybe this can remove the lock that is causing you troubles — viggio24, Nov 27 '11 at 08:22

You do nothing wrong. Check this line from Apple's website:

MFMailComposeResultSent – The email message was queued in the user’s outbox. It is ready to send the next time the user connects to email.

Dont release the mail picker at the specified spot [mailPicker release]; .. try using the Autorelease method for the

MFMailComposeViewController *mailPicker = [[[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init]autorelease];

the rest is good.

It does not matter. `mailPicker` will retained when presenting as modal – beryllium Nov 24 '11 at 12:45
