I created the following entries in my ‘settings.py’ file

# Email setup
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'someone@someorg.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'thepassword'
EMAIL_PORT = 587

Then I issued the following command in the terminal:

email = EmailMessage('Hello','Have you received this mail?',to=['someone@gmail.com'])

I got 1 as an ouput.

When I checked the mailbox at ‘someone@gmail.com’,no mail was there in the mailbox.Did I miss something?

    You should setup from_email parameter (as a kwarg or 3rd arg) with EmailMessage call. Or define in settings.py:

    DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'some.mail@inter.net'

    This is taken as default if no from_email is provided to EmailMessage.

    On a semi-related note, it’s probably a good idea to also define SERVER_EMAIL in settings.py. This one is used with mail_admins and mail_managers by Django.
