it looks OK. Make sure your server is setup properly or setup the smtp settings.

Also check the logs.

okay thanks now it`s working

Code:

$config = Array(
    'protocol' => 'smtp',
    'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
    'smtp_port' => 465,
    'smtp_user' => '[email protected]',
    'smtp_pass' => '*****'
  );
