Hi Amit,

1. No you cannot force it to come back to the app that initiated the mail call.

2. No you cannot control the windows size of the mail app when you launch it.

Hi Amit,

There is no solution that we offer that will work this way.  You can try sending SMTP traffic yourself to a server your users are authorized on or you could create a webservice you can call and mail from there.

I had this problem before. In .NET application, I used System.Net.Mail, however, it missed in Windows Runtime Assembly.  Finally I used a third-party solution in my project, you can have a look at it:
