e-mail and Android mail account settings from code

Is there a way to create/change an email account from source at android an ios? We would like to provide our customer a way for adding their mail accounts to android and ios devices within in an app.

I've already taken a look at the Android Account Manager but I'm still not sure if I can add System-Mail Accounts with it(example..?) :(

API: Android Account Manager

For IOS up to now i haven't found anything :(

For iOs you will have to create a configuration profile using the iPhone Configuration Utility for Mac OS X or for Windows. Basically those are XML/Plist-Files - only some content is obfuscated (like passwords). But if you don't include passwords you can modify this xml content in your app then you should be able to create a local NSURL and call UIApplication's openURL. if that doesn't work you'll have to deploy your configurations from a webserver - there is a guide for that. In that case you have to create a http-NSURL and pass that to openURL.
