you can use "email_template" module to send mail. First you need to create a template for that.
If you don't want to create email.template then you can directly use "send mail method" of "mail.message".

def send_email(cr, uid, ids, context=None):
    mail_server_obj = self.pool.get('ir.mail_server')
    mail_server_ids = mail_server_obj.search(cr, uid, [], context=context)
    if mail_server_ids:
        mail_message_obj = self.pool.get('mail.message')
        email_from = mail_server_obj.browse(cr, uid, mail_server_ids[0], context=context).smtp_user
        values = {
                'subject': your_subject,
                'body_html': your_body_message,
                'email_from': email_from,
                'email_to': email_to,
                'model': model_name,
                'res_id': ids[0],
                'mail_server_id': mail_server_ids and mail_server_ids[0],
                'date': time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'),
                'state': 'outgoing',
                'subtype': 'html',
            }
            msg_id = mail_message_obj.create(cr, uid, values, context=context)
            if msg_id:
                mail_message_obj.send(cr, uid, [msg_id], context=context)

Solution is to use 'email_template' module. install this module and you can find the configuration at Settings > Configuration > Email > Outgoing Mail Servers . Here you have the setup the outgoing mail server. Then goto Settings > Configuration > Email > Templates add the email template here for the model you want.

Now inherit your model and in the function (your button object to which change the task state to finish) add search for the corresponding email template and then use the send_mail() in the email_template module to send the mail.

This can be done in two ways.

Workflows

The "vanilla" way is to use workflows: workflow Activities can trigger a Server Action that sends an e-mail when they are reached. You would need to create a workflow for your object (e.g. project.task). Remember to modify the view's state buttons from type='object'to type='workflow'. You can find an example here.

This can be rather complicated if you're not familiar with module development in OpenERP. And IMHO it's a lot of trouble for such an "obvious" feature.

Automated Actions

That leads us to the second way to do it: using the base_action_rule module. Unfortunately it turns out that you're rather limited to what you can achieve with the module. So I wrote an extension, base_action_rule_trigger to simplify the sort of automation you are trying to achieve.

For example, create a notification when a Project Issue is closed::

  • In the Settings module, select menu Customization » Automated Actions, and create a new.
  • In the "Conditions" tab: set the "Rule name" and "Object" fields.
  • Set "Evaluated expression" to changed.get('state') == 'done':

Set "Evaluated expression"

  • In the "Actions" tab: set the "E-mail template" and check the "Send immediately" flag:

set the "E-mail template"

  • The new "E-mail template" module is used to design and render the e-mail:

enter image description here

Other triggers expressions examples:

  • Responsible is changed from user X to user Y: old.get('user_id') and new.get('user_id') and old.get('user_id') != new.get('user_id')
  • A new or unassigned Issue : inserting or changed.get('state') == 'draft' or not new.get('user_id')

You can override button object method,

    obj_mail_msg = self.pool.get('mail.message')
    obj_mail_server = self.pool.get('ir.mail_server')
    mail_server_ids = obj_mail_server.search(cr, uid, [], context=context)
    mail_server_record = obj_mail_server.browse(cr, uid, mail_server_ids)[0]
    obj_mail_msg.schedule_with_attach(cr, uid, 
                            email_from, 
                            email_to = [list of email], 
                            subject='Notification for Task',
                            body=tools.ustr(mail_body) or '', 
                            mail_server_id = mail_server_ids[0])

schedule_with_attach will create a massage in (settings > configuration > Email > Massages) and massage will be send by scheduler.

Hope it will Help.

This is what I've used in one of my projects. Perhaps filling in the mail server (smtp) parameters with yours would solve your problem.

import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
Properties properties = System.getProperties(); 
properties.setProperty("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
properties.setProperty("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
properties.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties, new Authenticator() {
    @Override
    protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()    {
        return new PasswordAuthentication(acc, pass);
    }
});
MimeMessage mimeMessage = new MimeMessage(session);

Transport.send(mimeMessage);
