Try something like <form action="mailto:example@gmail.com" enctype="text/plain">...</form> (And for course replace with your email)

Did you try it? It's just a normal form with the action attr set to "mailto:youremail@gmail.com" I was doing some research and I think the method="post" is not meant to be there (I'll correct my previous comment) I also recommend adding enctype="text/plain" And just as a reminder, don't use your main email address, you don't want any spam there. If you insist in using Gmail then create a new account and set it up so it resends all the emails to your main account (Benefits? Your main account is not public and if you ever get spam you can unlink that account and repeat the process with a new one). Preferably you should create an email address with the domain of the webpage (username@domain.extension); adding a hash to it is a good idea as it gives you the chance to delete it when you start receiving too much spam. I believe you can also configure it to resend everything to your main/personal email.

Are you using SoloLearn playground or local files on your computer? If you are using the playground then I recommend you use actual files. Did you search for this before asking? There should be enough info.
