Yes.
OK, so you probably want more than that and are seem to be too lazy to use Google so I suggest you look at the mailto: URL schema. Note that this only allows you to open the app with a new mail: you can't open the app with an existing mail open, in a folder, anything like that.
You should look at the UIApplication documentation, specifically the
openURL method.

The only way to open any app (built-in or otherwise) is via the URL method using a URL schema that it has registered. Mail only registers mailto: so that's your only option.
What about the "in app email" API that got added to the 3.0 OS?
There's plenty of documentation on this API at the Apple dev site if the OP is capable of actually reading...

That lets you compose a new mail and send it from within the app. It doesn't have anything to do with launching the mail app itself...
