My controller

App::uses('CakeEmail', 'Network/Email'); //before class begins

//function
public function contact(){

        $email = new CakeEmail();
        $email->config('smtp');
        $email->from('[email protected]');
        $email->to('[email protected]');
        $email->subject('About');
        $email->send('My message');
    }

//Email.php in config folder

class EmailConfig {

    public $smtp = array(
        'transport' => 'Smtp',
        'from' => '[email protected]',
        'host' => 'smtp.gmail.com',
        'port' => 465,
        //'timeout' => 30,
        'username' => '[email protected]',
        'password' => '*****',
        'client' => null,
        'log' => false,
        //'charset' => 'utf-8',
        //'headerCharset' => 'utf-8',
    ); 
}

The error i get is

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\wamp\www\myproject\lib\Cake\Network\CakeSocket.php on line 222

what do i need to change?

I even created the view file in Views/Users/contact.

Do i need to change the view file in View/Email folder?

You need to increase max_execution_time variable in your php.ini file.

You shouldn't be timing out sending an email through gmail though. Have you configured the smtp options correctly?

from the cake book http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-utility-libraries/email.html

'You can configure SSL SMTP servers, like GMail. To do so, put the 'ssl://' at prefix in the host and configure the port value accordingly. Example:'

<?php
class EmailConfig {
    public $gmail = array(
        'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
        'port' => 465,
        'username' => '[email protected]',
        'password' => 'secret',
        'transport' => 'Smtp'
    );
}
?>

Remove $email->from('[email protected]'); from your action and try again. Specify From address only in the email config. Then see whether it works.

App::uses('CakeEmail', 'Network/Email'); //before class begins

//function
public function contact(){

        $email = new CakeEmail();
        $email->config('smtp');
        $email->to('[email protected]');
        $email->subject('About');
        $email->send('My message');
    }

//Email.php in config folder

class EmailConfig {

    public $smtp = array(
        'transport' => 'Smtp',
        'from' => '[email protected]',
        'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
        'port' => 465,
        'timeout' => 60,
        'username' => '[email protected]',
        'password' => '*****',
        'client' => null,
        'log' => false,
        //'charset' => 'utf-8',
        //'headerCharset' => 'utf-8',
    ); 
}
