Use port 587 in combination with TLS or port 465 with SSL.

Answer 2

Try this in a function to send mail :
Hope it works!

$config = array(
                        'protocol' => 'smtp',
                        'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
                        'smtp_port' => 465,
                        'smtp_user' => '[email protected]', 
                        'smtp_pass' => 'abcd',
                                        );

                        $message = 'Your mail message here.';
                        $this->load->library('email', $config);
                        $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
                        $this->email->clear();
                        $this->email->from('[email protected]');
                        $this->email->to('[email protected]');   //To whom you are sending.
                        $this->email->subject('Your mail subject');
                        $this->email->message($message);
                        if($this->email->send())
                                 {
                                    return true;
                                 }
                                    else
                                 {
                                    return false;
                                 }  

                             }
