forget password not working in laravel 5

I tried to click on link forget password and it says email has been sent but I didn't receive email

I am using gmail smpt in db config I have already tried to change the setting in .env file but still nothing

This is mail config

MAIL_DRIVER=mail
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=465
[email protected]
MAIL_PASSWORD=password
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=ssl

This isn't working it only says email has been sent but I didn't receive mail I have also allowed in gmail to use Allow less secure apps: ON so that app can directly send mail

Solution

  • I changed the value of MAIL_DRIVER from mail to sendmail in the .env file 

     MAIL_DRIVER=sendmail
 MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
 MAIL_PORT=465
 [email protected]
 MAIL_PASSWORD=password
 MAIL_ENCRYPTION=ssl

    In account setting of gmail allow unsecured app to send mail works for me
