xdg-email is a command intended mostly for automated use that launches 
the user's preferred (in their desktop environment's settings) email 
client, such as thunderbird or evolution or kmail (or even emacs) with a 
message open and ready to be sent (possibly after further review and 
editing).

As it opens the desktop user's preferred email client, it's most likely 
to be actually already configured with correct outgoing settings.
