Button button = FindViewById<Button>(Resource.Id.myButton);

button.Click += delegate
{
    var email = new Intent(Android.Content.Intent.ActionSend);
    email.PutExtra(Android.Content.Intent.ExtraEmail, new string[] { "[email protected]", "[email protected]" });
    email.PutExtra(Android.Content.Intent.ExtraCc, new string[] { "[email protected]" });
    email.PutExtra(Android.Content.Intent.ExtraSubject, "Hello Email");
    email.PutExtra(Android.Content.Intent.ExtraText, "Hello user");
    email.SetType("message/rfc822");
    StartActivity(email);
};

and i always get this error

I means that it can't find an activity to handle the action SEND. Are you running this on code in a simulator? Try it on a physical device (make sure it has a mail client installed).

Also, I would surround your code in a try/catch block, to avoid crashing if there's no activity available to handle your intent.

** Update **

Here's an example. Put the try/catch block inside your delegate.

try
{
    var email = new Intent(Android.Content.Intent.ActionSend);
        email.PutExtra(Android.Content.Intent.ExtraEmail, new string[] { "[email protected]", "[email protected]" });
        email.PutExtra(Android.Content.Intent.ExtraCc, new string[] { "[email protected]" });
        email.PutExtra(Android.Content.Intent.ExtraSubject, "Hello Email");
        email.PutExtra(Android.Content.Intent.ExtraText, "Hello user");
        email.SetType("message/rfc822");
        StartActivity(email);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    // Either ignore or log the error.
}
