I am trying to run user email verification in my laravel app.
But i keep getting this error

I have the some problem, it works fine in local, but not in server
Level 4
for gmail smtp setup you need to create security keys and them in env file and imap setting should be enable . 3 party app access should be on your gmail account . gmail is updating continously its security.
1.security key generate for 3rd party app in gmail
2.add them in env
3.enable imap

If server side its not working please clear the configuration setting cache and also check with ports i am not sure which port you are using .port should not be blocked .i am using shared hosting no clue about VPS.if vps is there some server configuration need to be done.
