$config['smtp_pass'] = '123'; // SMTP Password.
$config['smtp_port'] = '25'; // SMTP Port.
$config['smtp_timeout'] = '5'; // SMTP Timeout (in seconds).
$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE; // TRUE or FALSE (boolean) Enable word-wrap.
$config['wrapchars'] = 76; // Character count to wrap at.
$config['mailtype'] = 'html'; // text or html Type of mail. If you send HTML email you must send it as a complete web page. Make sure you don't have any relative links or relative image paths otherwise they will not work.
$config['charset'] = 'utf-8'; // Character set (utf-8, iso-8859-1, etc.).

Sending an EmailThe subject() and message() function is used to set the subject and message of the email. $this->email->from('[email protected]', 'Your Name'); $this->email->to('[email protected]'); $this->email->subject('Email Test'); $this->email->message('Testing the email class.
To start, create a Mailtrap account and login. Click on Add Inbox , fill in the inbox name and click on Save . Now, click on the gear icon to see the credentials needed to send email with Mailtrap. On the page where you were redirected, click on Integrations list and choose CodeIgniter to view the configuration code.
For security reasons, Google's e-mail servers require SSL or TLS in order to send mail. It doesn't use the standard unencrypted port 25 method of doing it.
You basically have two choices. 1) Use sendmail or mail on your own server to deliver the messages, or 2) use the method described here to send e-mail via Google's servers using SSL. Good luck, and I hope it this helps.
