Setting Email for Forgot Password & Other application wide emails

Email functionality is used in some part of application like “Forgot Password”, “Offline Payment approval for SaaS module” and others from time-to-time.

During installation steps, you can set up email setting with all “SMTP” details or if you’re server support php-mail then you can use that too (php-mail is not recommended)

But if you have not setup it correctly then you can follow the below steps to do it:

• Open you .env file
• You will find the below configurations present there
  • MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
    MAIL_HOST=
    MAIL_PORT=
    MAIL_USERNAME=
    MAIL_PASSWORD=
    MAIL_ENCRYPTION=
• Fill in the appropriate details, you can get in contact with your hosting provider for any of the values above.
• For example with Gmail it looks like below:
  • MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
    MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
    MAIL_PORT=587
    MAIL_USERNAME=<your_gmail_email>
    MAIL_PASSWORD=<your_gmail_password>
    MAIL_ENCRYPTION=TLS
  • Some hosting disable port 587 and due to that email may not work, contact your hosting provider & they will enable it.
