Step 1: you will need an account on SendGrid - http://sendgrid.com

Step 2: After you have the SendGrid username and password

Step 3: Go to Codeigniter framework  application folder
edit the following files

/application/config/email.php

Now the file should be have the below sendGrid Code

<?php
$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$config['charset'] = 'utf-8';
$config['smtp_host'] = 'smtp.sendgrid.net';
$config['smtp_user'] = 'your_send_grid_username';
$config['smtp_pass'] = 'your_send_grid_password';
$config['smtp_port'] = 587;
$config['crlf'] = "\r\n";
$config['newline'] = "\r\n";
$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;
$config['mailtype'] = 'html'; //Use 'text' if you don't need html tags and images


Step 4: Create a controller to test the sendgrid email api working or not
Edit the following files

application/controllers/welcome.php


Paste the below function in to the existing welcome controller

function send_mail(){
$this->load->library('email');
$this->email->from('support@site4developer.blogspot.com', 'Manikanta');
$this->email->to('standardservices2@gmail.com');
$this->email->cc('unlock4datacards@gmail.com');
