Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

   public interface IOpenManager  
   {  
       void openMail();  
   }  

In Android.

   [assembly: Dependency(typeof(OpenImplementation))]  
   namespace App23.Droid  
   {  
       public class OpenImplementation : IOpenManager  
       {  
           public void openMail()  
           {  
               Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ActionMain);  
               intent.AddCategory(Intent.CategoryAppEmail);  
               intent.AddFlags(ActivityFlags.NewTask);  
               //FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK  
               Android.App.Application.Context.StartActivity(intent);  
           }  
       }  
   }  

In iOS.

   [assembly: Dependency(typeof(OpenImplementation))]  
   namespace App23.iOS  
   {  
       public class OpenImplementation : IOpenManager  
       {  
           public void openMail()  
           {  
               NSUrl mailUrl = new NSUrl("message://");  
               if (UIApplication.SharedApplication.CanOpenUrl(mailUrl))  
               {  
                   UIApplication.SharedApplication.OpenUrl(mailUrl);  
               }              
           }  
       }  
   }  

call this dependcy via: DependencyService.Get<IOpenManager>().openMail();
