You can use PHPMailer Library to do this.

Example:

$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Username = "[email protected]";
$mail->Password = "Your password";
$mail->AddAddress("[email protected]");
$mail->FromName = "Your Name";
$mail->Subject = "Contact Form";
$mail->Body = "The Body";
$mail->Host = "smtp.live.com";
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->From = $mail->Username;
$mail->Send();
