Are you sure the credentials are right? i don't know if `stmp_user` seems right.. — Antonios Tsimourtos, May 22 '17 at 14:58

First You should check if any configuration for email is written as external files in codeigniter.if yes check the configuraions otherwise see below.

Some times you don't want to write server configurations manually in Codeigniter code when hosting server and email server are same .You can directly send emails by following

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

$config['mailtype'] = 'html';
$config'charset'] = 'iso-8859-1';
$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;

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

$this->email->from('xx@xx.xx', 'xxx');
$this->email->to('yy@yy.yy');
$this->email->subject('xxxxx');
$this->email->message('xxx xxx xxx  xxx');

if ( ! $this->email->send()) 
       echo "Error";
} else {
    echo "Done";
}

Otherwise if you are using ssl://smtp.gmail.com .You can use below code

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

$config['protocol']    = 'smtp';
$config['smtp_host']    = 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com';
$config['smtp_port']    = '465';
$config['smtp_timeout'] = '7';
$config['smtp_user']    = 'xx@xx.xx';
$config['smtp_pass']    = '*****';

$this->email->initialize($config);
$this->email->from('xx@xx.xx', 'xxx');
$this->email->to('yy@yy.yy');
$this->email->subject('xxxxx');
$this->email->message('xxx xxx xxx  xxx');

if ( ! $this->email->send()) {
   echo "Error";
} else {
   echo "Done";
}

If you get fsockopen() error try with 'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
