Welcome to SO. You should read about how we write a well formed question. The link that rene has already mentioned is a very good start. For this time, I formmated you code. However, this is not still a question. It's just code with a titke `mail was not sending`. You have to describe what is going wrong? What are your findings until this moment and where you have stuck. — Christos, Sep 24 '16 at 09:53
