Hello,

Hi Mummadi ,

you can use EmailComposeTask in default windows phone libraries. Use your textbox's values as the strings in relevant parameters.

EmailComposeTask emailComposeTask = new EmailComposeTask();

emailComposeTask.Subject = "message subject";
emailComposeTask.Body = "message body";
emailComposeTask.To = "[e-mail]";
emailComposeTask.Cc = "[e-mail]";
emailComposeTask.Bcc = "[e-mail]";

emailComposeTask.Show();

Hope that helps

WinRT has no built-in email capabilities. You can share content to the default email app, or you can launch the default email app using the mailto: protocol.  Finally, you could host a webservice that takes the email information and sends it out using SMTP, with the app as a front-end host.

NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined objects and unknown namespaces.
