cant send email using laravel and laragon

[nermamax]

I used to be able to send emails from my localmachine over a year ago and I belive at that time I was using laragon.

Now I am developing new app and I need to test sending email from my local machine however I get this error:

"Connection could not be established with host smtp.gmail.com [ #0]"

I've got everything configured correctly inside mail.php and .env

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=myemail@gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=adfasfafdafdasfda
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=ssl

Is it possible to send email from Laravel using Laragon so I can test everything works?

I also tested this and it managed to send the email

Why cant my app send the email?

@nermamax : You can use MailHog:

actually solution was far simpler change ssl to tsl and it works

To implement Laravel mail send function on your website, you need to configure the route as well. In the routes, you need to mention this

<?php

use App\Mail\mailme;

Route::get('/', function () {

Mail::to('me@example.com')->send(new mailme);

return view('emails.mailme');

});
