Answer 1

Updated for Xcode 12.5

let url = NSURL(string: "mailto:mailto:[email protected]")
                                                UIApplication.shared.open(url! as URL)

or if you would like to add an embedded subject

let url = NSURL(string: "mailto:[email protected]?subject=This%20is%20the%20subject&[email protected]&body=This%20is%20the%20body")

or if you want to add multiple email addresses

let url = NSURL(string: "mailto:mailto:[email protected],[email protected]")
                                                    UIApplication.shared.open(url! as URL)


                                                

Answer 2

let url = NSURL(string: "mailto:[email protected]")
UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(url)

Note that this works only on a device, not in the simulator.
