This is my controller:

$this->load->library('email');
    $config = array(
                'protocol'  =>  'smtp',
                'smtp_host' =>  'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
                'smtp_user' =>  '[email protected]',
                'smtp_pass' =>  'youpassword',
                'smtp_port' =>  '465'
                );
    $this->email->initialize($config);
    $this->email->set_newline('\r\n');

    $this->email->from('[email protected]', 'andhika');
    $this->email->to('[email protected]');
    $this->email->subject('test');
    $this->email->message('world');


    if ($this->email->send()){
         echo 'Your e-mail has been sent';
    }         
    else{
        show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
    }

This is in my php.ini setting: extension=php_openssl.dll

Any Answer?

Many Thanks...

$config = Array(
    'protocol' => 'smtp',
    'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
    'smtp_port' => 465,
    'smtp_user' => 'username',
    'smtp_pass' => 'password',
    'mailtype'  => 'html', 
    'charset'   => 'iso-8859-1'
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");

$result = $this->email->send();
