Mail

Mailing with Gmail


Generate an App Password for your Laravel-Gmail integration from myaccount.google.com/apppasswords


It will ask for the App name, just type in Gmail.
The App name could be of any value really. It is just important to note that it is about Gmail because of all the services of Google, you will be using the Gmail service. You can also put the name of the Laravel application you are building. It is all up to you.


Click the Create button


The Generated app password window will popup


Copy the 12-character password. It will look like so:
abcd efgh ijkl mnop


Remove the spaces to prepare your usable App Password:
From unusable App Password
abcd efgh ijkl mnop

into usable App Password
abcdefghijklmnop


Edit the .env configuration file
nano /path/to/laravel/.env


Edit the following configuration values
MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=465
MAIL_USERNAME=gmail_username
MAIL_PASSWORD=gmail_app_password
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS="gmail_username@gmail.com"
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

Simply replace all instances of gmail_username with your actual username in Gmail
Simply replace gmail_app_password with the usable App Password you prepared in step #6 — the App Password without spaces
