Simple code snipplet to send an email using zend framework is as follows:

$config = Zend_Registry::get('config');//gets the config file i.e from application.ini
$configParam = array('auth' => $config['mail']['authtype'],
                        'username' => $config['mail']['username'],
                        'password' => $config['mail']['password'],
                        'ssl' => 'tls',
                        'port' => 587
                    );//sets all the configuration parameters
//for gmail you need to set 'ssl' => 'tls' otherwise its not required and mention the port for that specific mail server. For gmail port is 587 
$zendTransport = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp($smtpServer, $configParam);
$mail = new Zend_Mail();
$mail->setBodyHtml($emailBody)
     ->setFrom($fromEmailAddress, $fromEmailName)
     ->addTo($emailAddresses)
     ->addBcc($bccEmailAddresses);
     ->setSubject($subject)
     ->send($zendTransport);
