My answer is probably a few months too late for you Mubix, but maybe someone else can benefit from it. I've seen many people refer to this tutorial which shows how to send an email when a button is clicked within your app.

Simple Answer:

Its pretty easy to write an SMTP client yourself. See a sample here: http://davanum.wordpress.com/2007/12/22/android-send-email-via-gmail-actually-via-smtp/

Elaborate Answer:

If you want to write a full featured mail client supporting SMTP, POP, IMAP etc then you should look at the android mail client source code:Email app source

I'm 98% sure that they only way you can do this is to write your own SMTP client and point it at a SMTP server you have a valid account on (or is open for relay). ie, you can't use the standard email app or gmail to do this.
