How can I check if emails can be sent from my phone?

Question

I have an app that will send an email from the server if the app user does not have their email set up on their phone. Otherwise it will be sent through the android device.

What methods are there to check if email is configured on the phone?

Thanks

Another way to let the user to decide to send the email is to just create and use an Email Intent. That way the user sees that you want to send an email, and can choose what email client sends the email.

Example:

startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.parse("mailto:to@gmail.com"));
