1. Load email library in ur controller.
Code:
$this->load->library('email');2. use the following codes to send an email.
Code:
$this->email->from('sender email', 'Sender Name'); // $this->email->from('[email protected]', 'Your Name');
$this->email->to('receiver email'); //$this->email->to('[email protected]');
$this->email->subject('Subject of email');
$this->email->message('The message for the email.');
$this->email->send();This will help to send an email.

yes you can, but you need to install a SMTP-service on your local developer-machine. Furthermore, I suggest to use phpmailer - class instead of CI's built-in mailer-class. It is more reliable, and more powerfull, yet easy to use. The CI-stuff are very skilled developers, for sure. But you could fill books only about mail-headers in general. In this field, the people behind phpmailer have simply more experience. With phpmailer I was successfull with tasks which I failed with CI's mailer-class.
