class Dummy
{

   /**
     * @var  \Magento\Framework\Mail\Template\TransportBuilder
     */
    private $_transportBuilder;

  public function __construct( \Magento\Framework\Mail\Template\TransportBuilder $transportBuilder){

    $this->_transportBuilder = $transportBuilder;
  }

  public function sendEmail($templateId =1, $storeId =1,$templateParams)
  {

     $transport = $this->_transportBuilder->setTemplateIdentifier($templateId)
            ->setTemplateOptions(['area' => Magento\Framework\App\Area::AREA_FRONTEND, 'store' => $storeId])
            ->setTemplateVars($templateParams)
            ->setFrom('someemail@email.com')
            ->addTo('toemail@email.com')
            ->setReplyTo('replyto@email.com')
            ->addBcc('bcc@email.com')
            ->getTransport();
        $transport->sendMessage();
  }

}

Answer 2

Magento 2 Uses \Magento\Framework\Mail\Template\TransportBuilder class for send custom email.

You need to create a simple module and set email_tempaltes.xml file for defining your transaction mail templates.

You can send mail from Adminhtml or Frontend Scope area.

I have shared a link for step by step guide to send a custom mail from Magento 2 using a module.

Answer 3

it's working for me

$emailTemplateVariables = array();
$emailTempVariables['myvar'] = $myvar;

$senderName = 'test';
$senderEmail = 'sender@test.com';
$postObject = new \Magento\Framework\DataObject();
$postObject->setData($emailTempVariables);
$sender = [
        'name' => $senderName,
        'email' => $senderEmail,
        ];

$transport = $this->_transportBuilder->setTemplateIdentifier('myemail_email_template')
->setTemplateOptions(['area' => \Magento\Framework\App\Area::AREA_FRONTEND, 'store' => \Magento\Store\Model\Store::DEFAULT_STORE_ID])
->setTemplateVars(['data' => $postObject])
->setFrom($sender)
->addTo($email)
->setReplyTo($senderEmail)            
->getTransport();               
$transport->sendMessage();
