Check: GoDaddy POP and SMTP Server Settings
Check the library configuration email, and your hosting provider looking email accounts created, select and view a manual configuration.
Documentation Codeigniter Email
<?php
public function sendEmailSMTP(){
$this->load->library("email");
$configEmail = array(
'useragent' => "CodeIgniter",
'mailpath' => "/usr/bin/sendmail", // or "/usr/sbin/sendmail"
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'URL',// URL check: http://www.yetesoft.com/free-email-marketing-resources/godaddy-pop-smtp-server-settings/,
'smtp_port' => 465, // Usually 465
'smtp_crypto' => 'ssl', // or tls
'smtp_user' => 'youremail#yourdomain.com',
'smtp_pass' => 'AccountPasswordEmail',
'mailtype' => 'html',
'charset' => 'utf-8',
'newline' => "\r\n"
);
//Load config
$this->email->initialize($configEmail);
$this->email->from($this->config->item('admin_email', 'ion_auth'), $this->config->item('site_title', 'ion_auth'));
$this->email->to($user->email);
$this->email->subject(($this->config->item('site_title', 'ion_auth') . ' - ' . $this->lang->line('email_forgotten_password_subject'));
$this->email->message($message);
$this->email->send();
// See result
echo $this->email->print_debugger();
} // End sendEmailSMTP()
