    Hello - Is this the proper way to send an email from a plugin?:

                var message = "test";
                var emailId = service.Create(new Email
                {
                    To = new List<ActivityParty>
                    { 
                        new ActivityParty
                        {   
                            PartyId = new EntityReference(Contact.EntityLogicalName, contactId)
                        }
                    },
                    Subject = message,
                    Description = message,
                    RegardingObjectId = new EntityReference(Incident.EntityLogicalName, caseId)
                });

    Should this code alone be enough to send an email from a plugin or is a different technique or more code needed?

    You need to call a SendEmailRequest after you created the email record:

    SendEmailRequest sendEmailreq = new SendEmailRequest {
   EmailId = _emailId,
   TrackingToken = "",
   IssueSend = true
};
SendEmailResponse sendEmailresp = (SendEmailResponse)_serviceProxy.Execute(sendEmailreq);

    Unfortunately, service.Execute() is returning an exception: "an unknown error occurred"

    Is this a common error (with known solution(s)) for vets working with SendEmailRequest?

    Is your deployment on premise? If so, check the Event Viewer on the CRM server for more information of the error. Once you do that, please post the error details on this thread.
