my code for sending mail is as follows:

$mail = new Zend_Mail();
$mail->addTo('myemail@gmail.com', 'my name')
         ->setFrom('myemanil@gmail.com', 'my name')
         ->setSubject('My Subject')
         ->setBodyText('Email Body')
         ->send();

when I remove the last line i.e., send() then it works fine , but to send a mail we require send() :-P

I'm stuck here ...

thanks in advance

It looks to me like two things happening here:

The send() method is throwing an exception. Since you are not specifying a $transport object, it is attempting to use standard sendmail as a default. It looks like you are using Windows. Do you have sendmail installed? I, too, get exceptions when sending on my local Windows dev environment. Maybe test with an smtp-based transport?
The thrown exception is triggering the error handler, so it is looking for the ErrorController::errorAction(). The message you see is the result of a missing or incorrectly placed ErrorController.

Just thinking out loud.

you have to set the default transport for your application. Where you are writing the code, in the constructor of the class, you have to use this.

function __construct() {
    $tr = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp(<your smtp IP address>);
    Zend_Mail::setDefaultTransport($tr);
}

Note: Along with the above code, please check in your php.ini file of your apache server for the following setting. The below option should be uncommented.

extension=php_openssl.dll

First of all, please update to the latest ZF stable branch.

As a quickfix, you should try to replace your code with this :

$mail = new Zend_Mail();
$mail->addTo('myemail@gmail.com', 'my name')
         ->setFrom('myemanil@gmail.com', 'my name')
         ->setSubject('My Subject')
         ->setBodyText('Email Body');
$mail->send();

Depending on the ZF version you are using, method chaining could be the problem here.

try like this example from my project

  $options = array(
        'auth'     => 'login',
        'username' => 'username@gmail.com',
        'password' => 'password',
        'ssl'      => 'tls',
        'port' => 587
    );
    $mailTransport = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp('smtp.gmail.com', $options);
    Zend_Mail::setDefaultTransport($mailTransport);

$m = new Zend_Mail('UTF-8');
$m->setHeaderEncoding(Zend_Mime::ENCODING_BASE64);

    $m->addTo("username@gmail.com");
    $m->setFrom('username2b@gmail.com', 'username');
    $m->setSubject('usertext');
    $errortext = "report";
    $m->setBodyHtml($errortext, 'UTF-8', Zend_Mime::ENCODING_BASE64);
    $m->send();
