django-admin startproject mailproject
cd mailproject
python manage.py startapp mailapp

EMAIL_HOST = "smtp.gmail.com"
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_HOST_USER = "" #add here your actual mail id
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = "" #password of your mail id that you have added above
EMAIL_USE_TLS= True
Step:-4 Now add some code into your views.py file of mailapp folder. So that it will look like this:
