Try using Intent.createChooser method to find an application that should send your mail, like this:

    Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    emailIntent.setType(EMAIL_CONTENT_TYPE);

    emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] {"aaa@gmail.com","ssss@yahoo.com"});
    emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject");
    emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml("my html text goes here"));

    Intent chooser = Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Choose the application to send the email");
    startActivity(chooser);

@ Flavio I tried your approach . But it still not working . My program is still running but nothing happens .How can i know that message is gone?? – Diptopol Dam Apr 08 '11 at 11:36
This way you pass your message to mail application like gmail. And using gmail you message will be sent! So...you should register an account in gmail or in other mail programm. And only after that Intent.createChooser will find all mail programms and propose you to choose one to send the message. – Flavio Apr 08 '11 at 12:09

If you want to send the message directly without help of android mail programs you should use java mail API. – Flavio Apr 08 '11 at 12:10
finally problem was solved . use this [link](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2020088/sending-email-in-android-using-javamail-api-without-using-the-default-android-app) – Diptopol Dam Apr 16 '11 at 04:02
