It redirects you to outlook mostly because you click on mailto: link. You can connect to smtp server to send e-mail via php.
Here you will find how to do it
You don't need FTP which is file transfer protocol you need connection to SMTP which is Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.
Also check PHP manual
If you doesn't want to use PHP and you want send it via your client for example outlook you need do something like this:
<form enctype="text/plain" method="get" action="mailto:webdesign@aboutguide.com">
Your First Name: <input type="text" name="first_name"><br>
Your Last Name: <input type="text" name="last_name"><br>
Comments: <textarea rows="5" cols="30" name="comments"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
</form>
Code from this page. However, I don't recommend this solution. Connecting to SMTP via PHP is better.
