How to use MFMailComposeViewController with simulator?

I want to use a MFMailComposeViewController() in Swift 2.0 and Xcode 7.0.1. I fear, this is a duplicate question, but didn't find a solution.

My code:

@IBAction func sendMail(sender: AnyObject) {
  let picker = MFMailComposeViewController()
  picker.mailComposeDelegate = self
  picker.setSubject(subject.text!)
  picker.setMessageBody(body.text, isHTML: true)
  presentViewController(picker, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

and

func mailComposeController(controller: MFMailComposeViewController, didFinishWithResult result: MFMailComposeResult, error: NSError?) {
   switch result.rawValue {
   case MFMailComposeResultCancelled.rawValue:
       print("Mail cancelled")
   case MFMailComposeResultSaved.rawValue:
       print("Mail saved")
  case MFMailComposeResultSent.rawValue:
       print("Mail sent")
  case MFMailComposeResultFailed.rawValue:
       print("Mail sent failure: \(error!.localizedDescription)")
  default:
      break
 }
 dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)

The error is thrown in print("Mail cancelled")

When I test this on my device (iPad) everything is fine. But when i use the simulator, i get the error 

 viewServiceDidTerminateWithError: Error          
 Domain=_UIViewServiceInterfaceErrorDomain Code=3 "(null)" 
 UserInfo={Message=Service Connection Interrupted}
 Mail cancelled

But I want to run this in simulator to see, how it looks i.e. on iPhone 6...

You have to first check if the device can send mail with MFMailComposeViewController.canSendMail()

@IBAction func sendMail(sender: AnyObject) {
    guard MFMailComposeViewController.canSendMail()
        else { 
            // TODO: Alert the user its device cannot send mail
            print("Mail services are not available")
            return 
    } 

    let picker = MFMailComposeViewController()
    picker.mailComposeDelegate = self
    picker.setSubject(subject.text!)
    picker.setMessageBody(body.text, isHTML: true)
    presentViewController(picker, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
