I've been looking for a while, and finally I get it. I hope this works for you too.
Define your timezone:
php timezone
date_default_timezone_set('America/Bogota');
Set up your email account to allow IMAP access, and allow email to be used in less secure applications
less secure apps
IMAP Access
Set up your mail server with codeigniter:
$this->load->library('email');
$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$config['smtp_host'] = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$config['smtp_user'] = 'xxxxxxxxxx#gmail.com';
$config['smtp_pass'] = 'xxxxxxxxxxx';
$config['smtp_port'] = 465; (465/587)
$config['charset'] = 'utf-8';
$config['crlf'] = "\r\n";
$config['smtp_crypto'] = 'ssl'; (SSL/TSL)
$this->email->initialize($config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
Prepare your mail to send:
$this->email->from('xxxxxxxxxx#gmail.com', 'ANY-NAME');
$this->email->to('yyyy#yyy.yyy');
$this->email->subject('Email Test');
$this->email->message('Testing the email class.');
if($this->email->send()){
echo "sent";
}
else{
echo $this->email->print_debugger();
}
