* MAIL\_HOST=
* MAIL\_PORT=
* MAIL\_USERNAME=
* MAIL\_PASSWORD=
* MAIL\_ENCRYPTION=

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=
* MAIL\_PASSWORD=
* MAIL\_ENCRYPTION=TLS

**NOTE:** 

Some hosting disable port 587 and due to that email may not work, contact your hosting provider & they will enable it.

Use either TLS or SSL, don’t type both. Also, provide the port according to the given encryption used.
