Severity: Warning

Restart your Apache. Now again check http://localhost:85/CodeIgniter/ci_series_2/index.php/emai and you will see the bellow message.

Now we login our gmail account and check our mail and we will see the message like this.

Now you can check in your local server to send mail using smtp via gmail.
