Laravel - How to send email from tinker/cli

When I setup my SMTP config in .env file, I want to check immediately if it works.

First of all, I connect to tinker cli.

php artisan tinker

The easiest way that I found is to execute from tinker the following command.

Mail::raw('Hello World!', function($msg) {$msg->to('thkafadaris@atomic.gr')->subject('Test Email'); });

That's it. If everything is fine the Test Email will arrive to my inbox!
