 $config = Array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
'smtp_port' => 465,
'smtp_user' => 'xxx@gmail.com',// your mail name
'smtp_pass' => '*****',
'mailtype'  => 'html', 
'charset'   => 'iso-8859-1',
 'wordwrap' => TRUE
);

then

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