Aspose.Email for iOS via Xamarin is powered by Aspose.Email for .NET at its back. Known for its ease of use, stability and excellent performance as compared to its market competitors, Aspose.Email for .NET has been in the field for quite long time now.

The .NET API documentation can be referenced for code samples and guidelines other than exceptions listed in following section.
