        $this->email->from($email,$name);

        $this->email->to('fredma@gmail.com','nfy@layeaketz.com');

        $this->email->subject('New Contact Email from Client');

        $this->email->message($message);

        $this->email->send();

        if($this->email->send()== TRUE){
            echo'message sent';
        }else{
            echo'message not sent';

        }

I only see this `$config['mailtype'] = 'html';` have you got smtp host etc as shows in user guide? http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/email.html#setting-email-preferences-in-a-config-file — , Nov 10 '15 at 09:49
check after adding this `$config['charset'] = 'utf'; $config['wordwrap'] = 'TRUE';` — Prafulla, Nov 10 '15 at 09:49
Thanks but i get this error......... Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() — user3551487, Nov 10 '15 at 09:55
If your working on a local host you may need to configure the sendmail features that comes with that local host https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO7MfDcM-Ho — , Nov 10 '15 at 11:20

Because you are sending email two times in your code

$this->email->send();// first time

if($this->email->send()== TRUE){ //and second time here

After $this->email->send() every thing is clear. Just use

$this->email->message($message);
        if($this->email->send()== TRUE){
            echo'message sent';
        }else{
            echo'message not sent';
        }

Send mail with googlemail smtp

$this->load->library('email');

$config = Array(   
        'protocol' => 'smtp',
        'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
        'smtp_port' => 465,
        'smtp_user' => 'abc@gmail.com', // change it to yours
        'smtp_pass' => '*******', // change it to yours
        'mailtype' => 'html', // text
        'charset' => 'iso-8859-1',
        'newline' => '\r\n',
        'wordwrap' => TRUE
    );

    $this->email->initialize($config);
    $this->email->from('abc@gmail.com'); 
    $this->email->to('test@gmail.com');

    $this->email->subject('Test mail');
    $this->email->message('Test HTML Data');
    if($this->email->send())
    {

        echo "Mail sent";
    }
    else
    {
