 * @brief The Email API provides functions to create, set properties and send email.

 * @section CAPI_MESSAGING_EMAIL_MODULE_OVERVIEW Overview
 *
 * The @ref CAPI_MESSAGING_EMAIL_MODULE API provides functions that prepare and send email messages. 
 * This API allows email message creation, setting message properties 
 * and sending as well setting up to be notified when the email message has been sent.
 *
 *
 * Email, short for electronic mail, is a method of exchanging digital messages.
 * This API allows you to send email using SMTP. 
 * Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) used for sending email via Internet is described in RFC5321/5322 standards.
 *
 * The Email API consists of functions that:
 * - Set the subject, body and recipients of an email message
 * - Set the file path for attaching files to an email message
 * - Send an email message
 * - Register/unregister a callback function to be called when the sending process is complete,
 *     whether it is sent successfully or not
 *
 * Email sending is asynchronous and the application should not wait for the result.  
 * Not only may the process be slow (connections to be established and so on), 
 * but even if the mail server is not available a message send may not be a failure, if there is a spooling mechanism.
 * Instead, the callback function is used to receive status. In addition, note that once email_send_message() is called, 
 * the message contents are out of the application's hands.
 * Even if the message appears not to have finished sending, it can no longer be modified.
