You can use a Java action to send an email.
How to implement? The following operations have to be carried out in order to implement the send email Java action:
After deploying the project, you are able to add the java code to the java sources in the project’s deployment location.
• Go to your deployment location; • Select the map ‘Java source’; • Select the map of the module in which the Java action is added; • Select the ‘actions’ map; • Select the particular Java action and add the following text between ‘// BEGIN USER CODE’ and ‘// END USER CODE’:
After following the steps above, you can deploy and run your Mendix application in order to test your action in the Internet browser.
In addition:
To, From, CC, Subject and Body can be determined in the Mendix Business modeler by creating an object with those attributes. For example, ‘To’ can be set as the selected employee’s email address.
Example of Java code:
// This code is generated by the Mendix Business Modeler version 2.4.0.
// The following code will be retained when actions are regenerated: // - the import list // - the code between BEGIN USER CODE and END USER CODE // - the code between BEGIN EXTRA CODE and END EXTRA CODE // Other code you write will be lost the next time you deploy the project. // Special characters, e.g., é, ö, à, etc. are supported in comments.

See the template store at https://template-exchange.mendix.com. There is a template that you can import in your application for e-mailing.
In addition:
To, From, CC, Subject and Body can be determined in the Mendix Business modeler by creating an object with those attributes. For example, ‘To’ can be set as the selected employee’s email address.
