I was able to overcome this in one of my Lib classes with Cake 3 using the following...

$oRegistry  = new ComponentRegistry();
$oComponent = $oRegistry->load('PluginName.ComponentName');

I'm unsure if this creates any kinda discord with the state with the app's component registry; but, for my purposes, it seems to work.

Hope this helps someone :)

You don't do that, components are controller "extensions", they are not ment to be used without them.

For emailing purposes use the CakeEmail class (the E-Mail component is deprecated anyways).

App::uses('CakeEmail', 'Network/Email');

// ...

$Email = new CakeEmail(array(
    'port'      => 25,
    'timeout'   => 30,
    'host'      => 'host',
    'username'  => 'username',
    'password'  => 'password',
    'transport' => 'Smtp'
));

$Email->template($template)
      ->emailFormat('both')
      ->from('[email protected]')
      ->to($toEmail)
      ->subject($subject)
      ->send();

$this can be use in class for their on variables and method define within class In cakephp $this is used in controller when the $components array is defined within controller.

Try this

$email = EmailComponent();
$email->$smtpOptions= array();
