Create a new class

Specify a name for the collection form, call it name, should be a textfield, this should NOT be an information collector.

First field should be textfield, call it form_name, also check the checkbox "Information collector".
Second field should be textfield, call it form_address, also check "information collector".
Same for third field, only this could be a form_email field, also check "information collector".

Create a new object of this class, this will allow users to fill out the form.
Note that when you create this object, leave the "collection information" fields empty.

In your ini settings, under site.ini, you can change the email you want to use with collectionforms:

[InformationCollectionSettings]
EmailReceiver=root@gmail.com

Good luck

Abdul i think you have to create your own module and use eZ publish mail classes to send your email.
