Making a functional contact form using django

I'm created a website for a friend. I have created a contact form which he would like people to use and the messages will directly be sent to his own personal email address. I can't seem to get it working. I'm currently testing using my own outlook account and eventually would like to be using his Gmail account. please see my code below. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I did end up getting it working using mailtrap, but as far as im aware i would need to pay to redirect to an email address of my choosing?

Settings:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp-mail.outlook.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'email@email.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'password'
EMAIL_PORT = 587

Contact.html

{% extends 'portfolio/main.html' %} {% block content %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}
  <!--Section heading-->
  <h2 class="h1-responsive font-weight-bold text-center my-4">
    Contact vstheworld
  </h2>
  <!--Section description-->
  <p class="text-center w-responsive mx-auto mb-5">

  <!-- Wrapper container -->
  <div class="container py-4">
    <form method="POST">
      {% csrf_token %}
          {{form|crispy}}
          <div class="d-grid">
            <br>
            <button class="btn btn-dark btn-lg" id="form-submit" type="submit">
              Submit
            </button>
          </div>
    </form>
  </div>
  {% endblock content %}

forms.py

from django import forms

class contactForm(forms.Form):
    full_name = forms.CharField(max_length = 50)
    email_address = forms.EmailField(max_length= 50)
    message = forms.CharField(widget = forms.Textarea, max_length = 2000)

views.py

from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from .forms import contactForm
from django.core.mail import send_mail, BadHeaderError
from django.http import HttpResponse


def vswPortfolio(request):
    return render(request, 'portfolio/home.html')


def vswProject(request, pk):
    return render(request, 'portfolio/project.html')


def vswContact(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = contactForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            subject = "Website Inquiry" 
            body = {
            'full_name': form.cleaned_data['full_name'], 
            'email': form.cleaned_data['email_address'], 
            'message':form.cleaned_data['message'], 
            }
            message = "\n".join(body.values())

            try:
                send_mail(subject, message, '', ['myemail@email.com']) 
            except BadHeaderError:
                return HttpResponse('Invalid header found.')
            return redirect ('contact')
      
    form = contactForm()
    return render(request, "portfolio/contact.html", {'form':form})

urls

from django.urls import path
from . import views


urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.vswPortfolio, name='home'),
    path('project/<str:pk>/', views.vswProject, name='project'),
    path('contact/', views.vswContact, name='contact'),
   
]

Apologies if I have pasted too much info, I'm just never ended up posting enough in the past.

TYIA for any help

Here how i did it

in settings.py +=

EMAIL_BACKEND='django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST='smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT=587
EMAIL_HOST_USER=''
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=''
EMAIL_USE_TLS= True
EMAIL_HOST_USER='yourmail@gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD='passwordgeneratedforthisappingoogleaccounts'

you have to go to your account and regístrate the app, then they give you the password

in the view:

 from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
 from  django.urls import reverse
 from . forms import ContactForm
 from django.core.mail import EmailMessage
 from django.template.loader import render_to_string
 from django.conf import settings

 def contact(request):
      if request.method == 'GET':
              form = ContactForm()
              context = {
                  'form': form
              }
              return render(request, 'contact.html', context)

     if request.method == 'POST':

              form = ContactForm(request.POST)
              if form.is_valid():
                       form.save()

         name=request.POST['name']
         email=request.POST['email']
         subject=request.POST['subject']
         message=request.POST['message']

         template=render_to_string("email_template.html", {'name': name,
              'email':email, 'subject':subject, 'message':message})
    
         mail = EmailMessage(
             subject,
             template,
             settings.EMAIL_HOST_USER,
             ['youremail@gmail.com']
    )

    

    mail.send()
        
    return redirect(reverse('contact')+ "?ok")

and add in >templates

email_template.html

 {{message}}

 {{email}}

 {{name}}
