Promise<MailComposerResult>A promise fulfilled with an object containing a status field that specifies whether an
email was sent, saved, or cancelled. Android does not provide this info, so the status is always
set as if the email were sent.

Promise<boolean>A promise resolves to true if the API can be used, and false otherwise.
