We'll be using an email delivery platform called Mailtrap, as it's both free and user-friendly for email testing. If you don't have an account yet, create one and obtain the SMTP credentials, then add them to your application's .env file:

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=sandbox.smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=YOUR_MAILTRAP_SMTP_USERNAME
MAIL_PASSWORD=YOUR_MAILTRAP_SMTP_PASSWORD
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"
