    $mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
    $mail->Body    = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
    $mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';

    if(!$mail->send()) {
        echo 'Message could not be sent.';
        echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
    } else {
        echo 'Message has been sent';
    }
}

You altered your question quite a lot from the original. In the future, you should open a new question, instead of altering it so much. — Timothy, Apr 12 '16 at 07:11

According to manual as fo version 4.2.3 of PHP:

The additional_parameters parameter is disabled in safe_mode and the mail() function will expose a warning message and return FALSE when used.

So your code of:

$postMail = mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers, "-f $from");

is probably ending with false value which drowns you into else case.

PS: if it's not a case, please share your built $headers and $from vars.

There is no mail component in Phalcon, you should use an external library for mailing.

There are lots of options to choose from, including swiftmailer and phpmailer.

Look at the README.md file of the repo. It gives a simple example of how to use it – Timothy Apr 12 '16 at 05:38
Timothy - i want to know about full configure like in my service.php how to load it? use Phalcon\Email; thats it? and $di->set('mail', function() use ($config))... like this way and then what about the function in my controller? nedd detail from you! Please – munaz Apr 12 '16 at 05:55
how about this example? https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/phalcon-internal/A-9p_4CSlUY – munaz Apr 12 '16 at 06:47
You don't need to load the Mail component in the service.php. Copy the code you have there to your controller. – Timothy Apr 12 '16 at 07:03
Timothy - sir, i just follow this "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36538024/phpmailer-says-the-class-doesnt-exists-but-it-does" example. copy 3 files class.phpmailer,class.pop3,class.smtp and also PHPMailerAutoload.php to app/library/PHPMailer/. and copy the example code to my function but its shows error:Fatal error: Class 'PHPMailer' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\demo\app\controllers\IndexController.php – munaz Apr 12 '16 at 09:10
