Answer 1

Perhaps your hosting server and email server are located at same place and you don't need to go for smtp authentication. Just keep every thing default like:

$config = array(        
    'protocol' => '',
    'smtp_host' => '',
    'smtp_port' => '',
    'smtp_user' => 'yourname@gmail.com',
    'smtp_pass' => '**********'
    );

or

$config['protocol'] = '';
$config['smtp_host'] = '';
$config['smtp_port'] = ;
$config['smtp_user'] = 'yourname@gmail.com';
$config['smtp_pass'] = 'password';

it works for me.
