    // To address
    NSArray *toRecipents = [NSArray arrayWithObject:@"support@appcoda.com"];

Just to add, one other thing you can't do using the built-in MFMailComposeViewController class is to send emails silently, without the full-screen "Compose email" view appearing.

In my app, I resorted to sending the email details (To address, Body text, etc) to my app's WCF web service, and getting that to send the email instead.

And, of course, doing it that way, you can choose which From address you wish to use.

You cannot actually set the From field when using the MFMailComposeViewController. What actually happens is the From field will default to whatever email account the user has specified to be used as the default email account on the device in the settings.
