Answer 1

Before using mail.send() I would recommend to test if mail is correctly set :

if form.process().accepted:
    session.name = form.vars.name
    session.email = form.vars.email
    session.subject = form.vars.subject
    session.message = form.vars.message
    if mail:
        if mail.send(to=['otheremail@yahoo.com'],
            subject='project minerva',
            message= "Hello this is an email send from minerva.com from contact us form.\nName:"+ session.name+" \nEmail : " + session.email +"\nSubject : "+session.subject +"\nMessage : "+session.message+ ".\n "
        ):
            response.flash = 'email sent sucessfully.'
        else:
            response.flash = 'fail to send email sorry!'
    else:
        response.flash = 'Unable to send the email : email parameters not defined'
elif form.errors:
        response.flash='form has errors.'

Then try to change :

mail.settings.server = 'smtp@gmail.com:465'

in

mail.settings.server = 'smtp.gmail.com:465'

or

mail.settings.server = 'smtp.gmail.com:587'
