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.
Code
php artisan tinker
The easiest way that I found is to execute from tinker the following command.
Code
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!
