In the Files menu? No.

However, you can add something to the Run menu. If i-mail is some application found at c:\path\to\i-mail.exe, and you could send a file to i-mail by running c:\path\to\i-mail.exe --attach "d:\path\to\file", then

Close all instances of Notepad++ and start one instance
File > Open %AppData%\shortcuts.xml

In the <UserDefinedCommands> section, add

     <Command name="send via i-mail" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0">"c:\path\to\i-mail.exe" --attach "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"</Command>

Save and close shortcuts.xml
Exit Notepad++ and reload
Run > send via i-mail should now work

Of course, if it’s a different path, or need more or less arguments, you need to customize that example. Basically, you need to know the full command-line command to attach a file to i-mail, then you put that as the ___ in the <Command ...>___</Command>, using $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) it the place of the filename; and if there’s a possibility of spaces in the path, put quotes around it.
