How to Create and Send an Email in Laravel
Emailing doesn’t have to be a headache. With Laravel’s clean, simple email API powered by the popular Symfony Mailer component, you can quickly get started sending mail through a local or cloud-based service of your choice. The Laravel and Symfony Mailer APIs allow you to send email via SMTP, Mailgun, Postmark, Amazon SES (Simple Email Service), and Sendmail.
When you’re ready to send an email in your Laravel application, there are a few options you have. In this tutorial, we’ll look at the most straightforward way to use the Mail class in Laravel to send emails.
