This problem can generally occur when you do not enable two step verification for the gmail account (which can be done here) you are using to send an email. So first, enable two step verification, you can find plenty of resources for enabling two step verification. After you enable it, then you have to create an app password. And use the app password in your .env file. When you are done with it, your .env file will look something like.

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=<<your email address>>
MAIL_PASSWORD=<<app password>>
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

and your mail.php

<?php

return [
    'driver' => env('MAIL_DRIVER', 'smtp'),
    'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.gmail.com'),
    'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', 587),
    'from' => ['address' => '<<your email>>', 'name' => '<<any name>>'],
    'encryption' => env('MAIL_ENCRYPTION', 'tls'),
    'username' => env('MAIL_USERNAME'),
    'password' => env('MAIL_PASSWORD'),
    'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',
    'pretend' => false,

];

After doing so, run php artisan config:cache and php artisan config:clear, then check, email should work.

In my case I had to set the   MAIL DRIVER smtp MAIL HOST smtp gmail com MAIL PORT 465            lt  lt  lt  lt  lt  lt  lt -------------------------  FOCUS THIS  MAIL USERNAME  lt  lt your email address gt  gt  MAIL PASSWORD  lt  lt app password gt  gt   MAIL ENCRYPTION  ssl     lt  lt  lt  lt  lt  lt  lt -------------------------  FOCUS THIS    to work it   Might be useful  Rest of the code was same as  Sid said   And I think that editing both environment file and app config mail php is unnecessary  Just use one method   Edit as per the comment by  Zan  If you need to enable tls protection use following settings   MAIL PORT 587 MAIL ENCRYPTION  tls     See here for some other gmail settings

I did as per sid saying my env after updating is   MAIL DRIVER smtp MAIL HOST smtp gmail com MAIL PORT 587 MAIL USERNAME  lt mygmailaddress gt  MAIL PASSWORD  lt gmailpassword gt  MAIL ENCRYPTION tls   this did work without 2 step verification  with 2 step verification enabled it did not work for me

That error message means that there was not response OR the server could not be connected   The following settings worked on my end    stream    gt             ssl    gt                 allow self signed    gt  true               verify peer    gt  false               verify peer name    gt  false                     Note that my SMTP settings are   MAIL DRIVER smtp MAIL HOST smtp gmail com MAIL PORT 465 MAIL USERNAME  full gmail address  MAIL PASSWORD  App Password obtained after two step verification  MAIL ENCRYPTION ssl

For me the problem was the port  I first incorrectly used port 465  which works for SSL but not TLS  So the key thing was changing the port to 587

if you are using Swift Mailer  please ensure that your  transport variable is similar to the below  based on tests i have done  that error results from ssl and port misconfiguration  note  you must include  ssl  or  tls  in the transport variable   EXAMPLE CODE      Create the Transport  transport    new Swift SmtpTransport  smtp gmail com   465   ssl      - gt setUsername you example com    - gt setPassword password        Create the Mailer using your created Transport  mailer   new Swift Mailer  transport       Create a message  message    new Swift Message  News Letter Subscription      - gt setFrom   app example com    gt   A Name      - gt setTo   someone example com    gt   A Name      - gt setBody  your message body           Send the message  result    mailer- gt send  message
