I think you need to load the email library in constructor like

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

<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Dispatch extends MY_Controller 
{

        function __construct() {
                        parent::__construct();
                        $this->load->helper('url');
                        $this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));
                        $this->load->library('form_validation');
                        $this->load->library('session');
                        $this->load->helper(array('email'));
                        $this->load->library(array('email'));

        }

public function sendEmail()
    {
$config = array(
    'protocol'  => 'smtp',
    'smtp_host' => 'smtp.googlemail.com',
    'smtp_port' => '587',
    'smtp_user' => '[email protected]',
    'smtp_pass' => 'XXXXXXX',
    'mailtype'  => 'html', 
    'charset'   => 'iso-8859-1'
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
$this->email->set_mailtype("html");
$message2 = '
    <html>
        <head>
            <title>Dispatch</title>
        </head>
        <body>






        Test Mail




        </body>
    </html>
    ';
         $subject="Test Email";
         $message=$message2;
          $this->email->from('[email protected]');
          $this->email->to([email protected]);
          $this->email->subject($subject);
          $this->email->message($message);
          if($this->email->send())
         {
                 echo "<script type='text/javascript'>alert('Email Send Success');</script>";
                 redirect('/Dispatch/', 'refresh');
         }
         else
        {
         show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
        }

    }

}

?>

I am also facing same problem but when I try to load library in constructor the email send success.this is work for me hope this will help you too.

I am trying to send SMTP email using CodeIgniter, but I'm getting error in response ...

It is working. Great!

It is working. Great!

Code is

$ci = get_instance();
        $ci->load->library('email');
        $config = array();
        $config['protocol'] = "smtp";
        $config['smtp_host'] = "xxxxx";
        $config['smtp_port'] = 25;
        $config['smtp_user'] = "xxxxx"; 
        $config['smtp_pass'] = "xxxxx";
        $config['charset'] = "utf-8";
        $config['mailtype'] = "html";
        $config['newline'] = "\r\n";

        $ci->email->initialize($config);

        $ci->email->from('xxxxx', 'Blabla');
        $list = array('xxxxx');
        $ci->email->to($list);
        $this->email->reply_to('xxxxx', 'Explendid Videos');
        $ci->email->subject('This is an email test');
        $ci->email->message('It is working. Great!');
        if($ci->email->send()){echo "send";}else{echo "error ";print_r($ci->email->print_debugger());}
