I'm using EmailComposerTask to send an email.
Is there any way to detect if email wasn't sent for problems like no connection, invalid email setting, mail server temporary down etc ?
I cannot find any way get this information.
Unfortunately this is not possible. Tasks in WP7 consists of launchers and choosers, the EmailComposerTask is one of the launchers which is defined as being:
A “fire and forget” action, where a specific Windows Phone functionality is launched, for example, sending an SMS message, opening a webpage, or placing a phone call
There is no way to know the result of the action you launched. Source

My (editor-like) Windows desktop program can create a new e-mail with the current project attached using MAPISendMail. A customer wants the same functionality for Microsoft Teams.
For the web version, I think I can probably do that with Graph API.
But I can't find anything for the desktop app version. Is there a way to do that?
Bonus:
It would be great if the user could manually specify recipient + body text in Teams (and not in my program).
So you can't actually attach files to messages directly - you basically upload the file to a web location, and then provide a link to the file in the message. As an example, you can upload to the SharePoint document library that exists in the "Files" tab (something like this). Then, in terms of sending the message, you can send to a Team/Channel quite easily using a Webhook. This does not support #mentions the moment though. Another option is to use Graph to send the message.
If you're wanting instead to send a kind of 'private' message to the user, you'd need to look into creating a bot, and sending a 'Proactive' message
I'm using IFTTT to send a Google Assistant message to my Windows application via Drop Box. If I say "[keyword] [message]" (for example: "Computer: Play Game of Thrones Season 2 Episode 4") IFTTT will write the text translation of [message] to a file on drop box that my application monitors and from there I can read the [message] and act on it.
What I would like to be able to do is send a reply back to the device that sent the message... For example if I tell my phone to have my computer start a movie on my computer and for whatever reason my app can't find the movie I want to be able to communicate that back to the device that originally sent the message, whether that be my cell phone or tablet or Google Home smart speaker.
I know there is probably no official way to do this but i'm looking for creative solutions (like the one I use to get the message in the first place)... anything at all that works even if it involves multiple third-party services.
There's no good way to send back an acknowledgement through the IFTTT integration. You'd need to build your own Action which would use something like push notifications to communicate between your local device and a cloud-based webhook.
I am trying to build a control that the user can use to send feedback to developer. I am using email as a delivery method and I leverage sendgrid email service for this. Now I want to know the users email address so I can respond back to the user's concern. I am not sure how to get the user's email in window 10. Any help or pointers please?
I would strongly recommend to use the sharing approach that has been introduced with Windows 8 - instead of writing and maintaining your own mail functionality and trying to access additional user data.
Have a look at the existing and built in e-mail functionalities. They make use of the user's connected mail accounts and the mail app. This way you don't need to worry about handling the message transmission or anything but rather hand the information over to the mail client. This way you also know how to reply back.
And as a bonus, the user can still access their message via the Sent Mails folder :)
There is a specific class for that, the EmailMessageClass (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.applicationmodel.email.emailmessage.aspx?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=csharp#code-snippet-1) as well as a dedicated guide with code example.

Essentially you can prepopulate the Mail fields with necessary app information where applicable. The user gets to choose which accounts he wants to send the mail from, but it will open in the mail client.
Is there an api in mango sdk that allows me to programatically poll the notifications/toast to at least get the count. I'd like to write background service check for missed messages.
It's not possible to get hold of the email/SMS messaging details like this in Windows Phone. The only way to interact with the email client is via the SDK Launchers and Choosers: see this link on MSDN.
About all you can do is call the EmailComposeTask or SmsComposeTask for writing a plain text email or SMS, or EmailAddressChooserTask for getting an email address from the address book.
Also bear in mind that launchers and choosers must be initiated by a user action and cannot be launched from any background agent code.
Is there any way to send and recieve sms in wp7?
And is there any way smsinterceptors
if not
is there any alternative way to do it?
Any third party tool like that?
You can only send a SMS through SmsComposeTask class but like every task you can only show them - actually executing the action is done by the user.
If you want something to do which isn't accessible from the public API you can't do it. In some rare cases you'll find some homebrown apps but only a minority will use them.
If you can't live with this you should choose a different mobile os.
