Good morning,

you can cut your statements a bit down:

                 $email_sent=$mail->send();
                    if(!$email_sent) { ?>
                   <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
                 alert('Something went wrong');
                </script><?php
            } else { ?>
                <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
                 alert('Thank you for the message');
                </script>
                <?php
                }

It should look and work like that:

$email_sent = $mail->send();
                if(!$email_sent) {}else {}

Also you don´t need to make all this breaks, just put your js in a echo and remove that:

language="javascript"

instead go for:

  echo "<script>alert('Something went wrong');</script>";

So it would look like that:

     $email_sent = $mail->send();
                if(!$email_sent) { 
    echo "<script>alert('Something went wrong');</script>";
} else {
    echo "<script>alert('Thank you for the message');</script>";
}

Edit

Nearly forgot!

Now we have cleared the code a bit, but it won´t work like that.

You will need to adjust your form aswell with:

onclick or onsubmit

Or go for an ajax call:

$('#mailform').on('submit', function(e)
{
    e.preventDefault(); 

        $.ajax({ 
            data:    {data_field: 'value'},
            type:    'post',
            url:     '/script.php',
            success: function(r) {$('#thepoup').removeClass('hidden')},
            error:   function(r) {alert('error'); console.log(r)}
        });
});
