In your config.php you should also configure a proper transport eg for a transport based of gmail account you could use

    'mailer' => [
        'class' => 'yii\swiftmailer\Mailer',
        .....
        'useFileTransport' => false,//set this property to false to send mails to real email addresses
        //comment the following array to send mail using php's mail function
        //
        //
        /* configurazione servizio email da usare in locale (localhost sviluppo) */
        'transport' => [
            'class' => 'Swift_SmtpTransport',
            'host' => 'smtp.gmail.com',
            'username' => 'your_gmail_username@gmail.com',
            'password' => 'your_gmail_password',
            'port' => '587',
            'encryption' => 'tls',
        ],
