Another option I have working  in a linux server with Postfix   First  configure CI email to use your server s email system  eg  in email php  for example    alias to postfix in a typical Postfix server  config  protocol      sendmail     config  mailpath       usr sbin sendmail      Then configure your postfix to relay the mail to google  perhaps depending on the sender address   You ll probably need to put you user-password settings in  etc postfix sasl passwd  docs   This is much simpler  and less fragmente  if you have a linux box  already configured to send some all of its outgoing emails to Google

You need to enable SSL in your PHP config  Load up php ini and find a line with the following    extension php openssl dll  Uncomment it   D   by removing the semicolon from the statement   extension php openssl dll

According to the CI docs  CodeIgniter Email Library         If you prefer not to set preferences using the above method  you can   instead put them into a config file  Simply create a new file called   the email php  add the  config array in that file  Then save the file   at config email php and it will be used automatically  You will NOT   need to use the  this- email- initialize   function if you save your   preferences in a config file    I was able to get this to work by putting all the settings into application config email php    config  useragent      CodeIgniter    config  protocol      smtp      config  mailpath       usr sbin sendmail    config  smtp host      ssl   smtp googlemail com    config  smtp user      YOUREMAILHERE gmail com    config  smtp pass      YOURPASSWORDHERE    config  smtp port     465    config  smtp timeout     5   config  wordwrap     TRUE   config  wrapchars     76   config  mailtype      html    config  charset      utf-8    config  validate     FALSE   config  priority     3   config  crlf       r n    config  newline       r n    config  bcc batch mode     FALSE   config  bcc batch size     200    Then  in one of the controller methods I have something like    this- gt load- gt library  email       Note  no  config param needed  this- gt email- gt from  YOUREMAILHERE gmail com    YOUREMAILHERE gmail com     this- gt email- gt to  SOMEEMAILHERE gmail com     this- gt email- gt subject  Test email from CI and Gmail     this- gt email- gt message  This is a test      this- gt email- gt send      Also  as Cerebro wrote  I had to uncomment out this line in my php ini file and restart PHP   extension php openssl dll

Perhaps your hosting server and email server are located at same place and you don t need to go for smtp authentication  Just keep every thing default like    config   array               protocol    gt           smtp host    gt           smtp port    gt           smtp user    gt   yourname gmail com        smtp pass    gt                        or   config  protocol          config  smtp host          config  smtp port        config  smtp user      yourname gmail com    config  smtp pass      password     it works for me
