;Mail Settings
kebab.mail.smtpServer           = "smtp.gmail.com"
kebab.mail.config.ssl           = "tls"
kebab.mail.config.auth          = "login"
kebab.mail.config.port          = "587"
kebab.mail.config.username      = "onur.ozgur.ozkan@lab2023.com"
kebab.mail.config.from          = "onur.ozgur.ozkan@lab2023.com"
kebab.mail.config.password      = "your_password"

<?php

class TestController extend Kebab_Controller_Action
{
    public function contactAction()
    {
        if ($this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
            $param = $this->_helper->param();
            // $param = array('name' => 'Visiter Name', 'email' => 'visiter@email.com', 'body' => 'Hi, This is a message body');
            $configParam = Zend_Registry::get('config')->kebab->mail;
            $smtpServer = $configParam->smtpServer;
            $config = $configParam->config->toArray();

            // Mail phtml
            $view = new Zend_View;
            $view->setScriptPath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/views/mails/'); // we create a contact.phtml for send email
            $view->assign('name', $param['name']);
            $view->assign('email', $param['email']);
            $view->assign('body', nl2br($param['body']));

            $transport = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp($smtpServer, $config);
            $mail = new Zend_Mail('UTF-8');
            $mail->setFrom($configParam->from, 'Contact Form from - '. $param['name']);
            $mail->addTo($param['email'], $param['name']);
            $mail->setSubject('Contact Form from - '. $param['name']);
            $mail->setBodyHtml($view->render('contact.phtml'));
            $mail->send($transport);

            $this->_helper->response(true)->getResponse(); // send success response json format
        }

        // Show contact.form.phtml which user fill and send
    }
}

This is our /view/mails/contact.phtml

<h1><?php echo $this->translate('Contact Form'); ?></h1>
<h2><?php echo $this->translate('Sender'); ?> : <?php echo $this->name; ?> - <?php echo $this->email; ?></h2>
<p><?php echo $this->body; ?></p>

Now you need a view form send form.

<?php
$this->headTitle($this->translate('Contact'));
$this->headScript()->prependFile($this->asset('frontend/javascripts/contact.js')->get(false));
?>

<div class="rounded contents">
    <h1>Contact</h1>
    <p>Please touch as</p>
    <br />
    <div id="form-wrapper"></div>
