Auto populate input field

Hi,

i have a visualforce page and  want to auto pouplate a filed

<apex:page standardController="Itinerary__c" tabStyle="Itinerary__c" extensions="ItinerarySave">
    <apex:form >
        <apex:pageBlock title="Itinerary Edit" mode="edit">
            <apex:inputField label="Email To" value="{!email}" required="true"/>
         </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>


Apex class is

public class ItinerarySave {
    
    Itinerary__c it;
    public String email {get; set;}

    public ItinerarySave(ApexPages.StandardController stdController)
    {
        email = 'anil@swiftsetup.com';
    }

but it gives following error

Error: Could not resolve the entity from <apex:inputField> value binding '{!email}'. <apex:inputField> can only be used with SObject fields.

Please help

Thanks

Ok this is how it works

 

Need to bind the field to an object


so in apex class i need to do this

public class ItinerarySave {
    
    Itinerary__c it;
    public String email {get; set;}

    public ItinerarySave(ApexPages.StandardController stdController)
    {
        it.email__c = 'anil@swiftsetup.com';
    }
