Answer 1

You will have to use meteor Email package to send email:
Meteor Email Package
After you have added package just write below code in your method to send an email
Email.send({ to, from, subject, text });

Answer 2

Sorry to See this post little late, but there are many folks out there who are willing to implement this even today. So below are the steps to achieve email verification flow.
NOTE: I am using Meteor 1.6.1.1, with Flow-routers + Blaze Templates. Also, make sure you have enabled 3rd party API access call to Gmail. You can do this from Gmail settings.
Import Packages: accounts-ui, accounts-password
In root_folder/server/ folder, inside main.js copy paste below code and make the necessary credential change to your file.
var username = 'asdasdasdas';
var password = 'sdasdasdasd';
var server = 'smtp.gmail.com';
var port = '465';
process.env.MAIL_URL = 'smtps://' +
encodeURIComponent(username) + ':' +
encodeURIComponent(password) + '#' +
encodeURIComponent(server) + ':' + port;
process.env.NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED = 0;
Accounts.emailTemplates.from = 'support_team#domain.com';
//-- Application name
Accounts.emailTemplates.siteName = 'Your Site Name';
//-- Subject line of the email.
Accounts.emailTemplates.verifyEmail.subject = function(user) {
return 'Email Confirmation.';
};
//-- Email text
Accounts.emailTemplates.verifyEmail.text = function(user, url) {
var newUrl = url.replace('/#','');
return 'Thank you for registering. Please click on the following link to verify your email address: \r\n' + newUrl;
};
// Configure to send the Email Verification mail as true
Accounts.config({
sendVerificationEmail: true,
restrictCreationByEmailDomain: function(email) {
var domain = email.slice(email.lastIndexOf("#")+1); // or regex
var allowed = ["gmail.com", "yahoo.co.in", "outlook.com", "yahoo.com", "yandex.com", "protonmail.com", "protonmail.ch", ];
return _.contains(allowed, domain);
},
loginExpirationInDays: 1
});
When you successfully create an account in Meteor app, you will get an email as below;
Inside the mail, You will see a link with route of pattern /verify-email/:token, hence go inside project/client/routes.js you need to add the route,
import { FlowRouter } from 'meteor/kadira:flow-router';
//force user to stay on home page instead of desired page
Accounts.onLogin(function(user){
var user = Meteor.user();
if(user.emails && user.emails[0].verified){
FlowRouter.go('dashboard');
}
});
FlowRouter.route('/verify-email/:tokenId', {
name: 'verify-email',
action: function(params, queryParams) {
var token = FlowRouter.getParam("tokenId");
console.log(token);
Accounts.verifyEmail(token, function(err){
if(!err){
FlowRouter.go("dashboard");
} else {
FlowRouter.go("error-page");
}
});
},
});
