Thanking in Advance.

Answer 1

To answer your question I first ask you one.. Can you send mail with any of the available acount without logging in with your password? the answer is no. Because before sending mail you need to authenticate your acount with password. So this is must. If you can send mail without password then anybody can do the same which is definitely not wanted.

Answer 2

You need to to authenticate to send mails. If you device already has applications you can use intents which will allow you the user to make a choice to sent mails using the desired application.

You can also hard code username and password and sent mails using javamail api.

The above requires users to have gmail account.

Can i send without giving my password?

Your mail server administrator is unlikely to allow password-less email sending, as soon a billion spammers will use your mail server.

You are welcome to write a Web service that will send email to your dedicated "contact-us" account. Or, have the Web service store the "contact-us" information elsewhere, such as a database.
