Why can't I send emails with my CodeIgniter app?

Hi all. I'm trying to use CodeIgniter's email library to send emails when my contact form is filled, but unfortunately, although I see the SUCCESS message on my website, the email does not get delivered to my inbox. Can you help me solve the problem with my configuration? Thanks in advance. Below is my config file for emails:

<?php

            $config = array(

              'protocol' => 'smtp',
              'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
              'smtp_port' => 465,
              'smtp_timeout' => 7,
              'smtp_user' => 'blabla@gmail.com', 
              'smtp_pass' => 'blabla', 
              'mailtype' => 'html',
              'charset' => 'utf-8',
              'newline' => "\r\n",
              'wordwrap' => TRUE

            );

?>
