     $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
     $this->email->from('[email protected]', 'Gaurav kwatra');
     $this->email->to('[email protected]');
     $this->email->subject('This is an email test');
     $this->email->message('Emial Testing');

      //$this->email->initialize($config);

     if($this->email->send())
     {
         echo 'Your email sent...!!!! ';
     }
     else 
     {
         show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
     }
 }
//end of code

I use above code to send mail from codeigniter....I have an error...Failed to authenticate. Password is correct.
