php mail() function doesn't work locally (e.g. xampp) unlesss you're expert. It doesn't work either on free hosting. To use mail /send email, use most popular PHPMailer library. I got it working with google smtp servers. You also have to give/activate permission to less secure apps in your google account's security tab.

I second this, seems like the email template is more for frontend display purposes. You're better off having the backend done for that by scratch or deploy a CMS
