Smtp codeigniter gmail error
I am sorry that I keep coming back with this problem. I have checked my account and its fine (signed with no interception) and so far nothing. This still gives me this back:

I saw a post somewhere in my googling that php mail () doesn't do smtp with google mail well, is that true? if so i looked at the wiki on phpmailer and swiftmailer and the entry is scarce, so any ideas on what to do? possibly with links or tips .... NOTHING PLEASE !!!

after a lot of checking, it seems that the codeigniter email class is ify with gmails smtp. so I looked for other alternatives and found phpmailer and I have a post working with my application. Anyone looking to use mail in codeigniter app should consider using the phpmailer plugin. Much easier than email.

I had the same problem, I solved it by enabling pop in gmail.
In Gmail: setting -> pop / imap -> enable pop
And then "Allow less secure applications to access your account." When I allow everyone to start working.
Here is the link where I found the information: Google Support
