Integrate Google Apps Mail with CodeIgniter - Error

Hello,

Thanks for all your help. There was a config file entry in the email.php in the controller config folder. Since I am new to PHP and CodeIgniter both I didn't knew that

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

Was loading the email.php settings. Ideally the email.php data should have been overwritten by $config but is was not. Now I have staright away put the config details in the email.php and using the line

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

And it is working fine with and without the less secure apps setting in google admin.
