Below is a small PHPMailer snippet that I normally use. Hope you find it useful.

function sendMail($toAddress, $subject, $body, $AttachmentFilePath) {
$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->IsSMTP ();
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
// nable SMTP debugging
// 0 = off (for production use)
// 1 = client messages
// 2 = client and server messages
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0; // To prevent any outpur
// Ask for HTML-friendly debug output
$mail->Debugoutput = 'html';
// Get the hostname of the mail server
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
// Get the SMTP port number - 587 for authenticated TLS, a.k.a. RFC4409 SMTP submission
$mail->Port = 587;
// Get the encryption system to use - ssl (deprecated) or tls
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
// Whether to use SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPAuth = TRUE;

// Username to use for SMTP authentication - use full email address for gmail
$mail->Username = "your.email@gmail.com";
// Password to use for SMTP authentication. Specific to the Lead Qualifier Tool
$mail->Password = "YourPassWordHere";

// Set who the message is to be sent from
$mail->SetFrom ( 'your.email@gmail.com', 'Your Name' );

// To Address
$mail->AddAddress ( $toAddress, $toAddress );

$mail->Subject = $subject;

$mail->Body = $body;
$mail->AltBody = $body;

// Add attachment
if ($AttachmentFilePath != NULL)
    $mail->AddAttachment ( $AttachmentFilePath );

if (! $mail->Send ()) {
    echo "<br />Error while sending e-mail: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
    // echo "Message sent!";
}
}

Also, since you are using Gmail, make sure you create an ASP(Application Specific Password), and use it in your code, and not your real password.

A 404 error indicates that the page wasn't found. I suspect that's due to the curly single quotes in your <form> element

<form action=’mail.php’ method=’post’>
             ^        ^        ^    ^

Change this to

<form action='mail.php' method='post'>
