2015-08-28 14:16:51,671 ERROR Unable to locate appender Email for logger

I am not sure why it doesn't work. Help will be appreciate

This is part of my log4j2.xml file. 

<appender name= "Email" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender">

        <param name = "BufferSize" value = "50"/>
        <param name = "SMTPHost" value = "smtp.gmail.com"/>
        <param name = "SMTPort" value = "465"/>
        <param name = "SMTPUsername" value ="[email protected]"/>
        <param name = "SMTPPassword" value ="mypassword"/>
        <param name = "From" value="[email protected]"/>
        <param name = "To" value="[email protected]"/>
        <param name = "Subject" value="Testing Log4j mail notification"/>
        <layout class = "org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
            <param name="ConversionPattern" value="[%d{ISO8601}]%n%n%-5p%n%n%c%n%n%m%n%n" />
        </layout>

        <filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelRangeFilter">
            <param name="LevelMin" value="error"/>
            <param name="LevelMax" value="fatal"/>
        </filter>

    </appender>

This is my main class

package com.testcase;

import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger ;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;


public class log4jDemo {

    protected static Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(log4jDemo.class);

    public static void main (String [] args){


    logger.trace("trace message");
    logger.warn("warn message");
    logger.error("Error message, a very long error message");

    }
}
