/**

 */
$config['protocol']         = 'smtp';
$config['smtp_host']        = 'smtp.mailgun.org';
$config['smtp_user']        = 'here your user';
$config['smtp_pass']        = 'here your password';

$config['mailtype']         = 'html';
$config['email']['newline'] = "rn";
?>

<?php

defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

/**

* Mailgun Configuration

$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';

$config['smtp_host'] = 'smtp.mailgun.org';

$config['smtp_user'] = 'here your user';

$config['smtp_pass'] = 'here your password';

$this->email->message('Your Message'); 
try {
    $this->email->send();
    echo 'Message has been sent.';
} catch(Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

<?php

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

$this->email->from('sender@example.com', 'Sender Name');

$this->email->to('recipient@example.com','Recipient Name');

$this->email->subject('Your Subject');
