If you are using the default ContactForm model you simply need to create a table in database. It can have fields like name and email

Add the tableName method in your Contact form model

public static function tableName()
{
    return '{{%contact_table name}}';
}

Then in Yii contact action after validation call the save method

/**
 * Displays contact page.
 *
 * @return mixed
 */
public function actionContact()
{
    $model = new ContactForm();
    if ($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post()) && $model->validate()) {
      //save data
      $model->save();
       //end save
        if ($model->sendEmail(Yii::$app->params['adminEmail'])) {
            Yii::$app->session->setFlash('success', 'Thank you for contacting us. We will respond to you as soon as possible.');
        } else {
            Yii::$app->session->setFlash('error', 'There was an error sending email.');
        }

        return $this->refresh();
    } else {
        return $this->render('contact', [
            'model' => $model,
        ]);
    }
}

Add email to the body

 public function sendEmail()
    {

        return Yii::$app
            ->mailer
            ->compose(
                ['html' => 'passwordResetToken-html', 'text' => 'passwordResetToken-text'],
                ['user' => $user]
            )
            ->setFrom([Yii::$app->params['supportEmail'] => Yii::$app->name . ' robot'])
            ->setTo($this->email)//$this->email can be added to the message body
            ->setSubject('Password reset for ' . Yii::$app->name)
            ->send();
    }
