I suggest you to use Mail Gun and Bolt APIs to send the mail instead of IFTTT. Here is the link to Mail Gun: https://www.mailgun.com/

Hi,
You can use MailGun as PPV have suggested. First, verify your domain on mailgun and after verification, you will get an API key from mailgun.

Refer this python code snippet.

import json
import time
import requests

def send_simple_mail():
    return requests.post(
        "https://api.mailgun.net/v3/samples.mailgun.org/messages",
        auth=("api", "key-3ax6xnjp29jd6fds4gc373sgvjxteol0"),
        data={"from": "Excited User <excited@samples.mailgun.org>",
              "to": ["devs@mailgun.net"],
              "subject": "Hello",
              "text": "Testing some Mailgun awesomeness!"})

while True:
        time.sleep(5)
        # Replace api_key with your api key that you will get from bolt cloud
        # Replace device_name with your original device name
        response = requests.get('http://cloud.boltiot.com/remote/api_key/analogRead?pin=A0&deviceName=device_name')
        data = json.loads(response.text)
        if data['value'] > 10:
                print  "temperature is=", data['value']
                print "sending sms"
                send_simple_mail()
        else:
                print  "temperature is=", data['value']
            print "temperature is normal"
