Quick question.
Are your database and Laravel project hosted on the same datacenter ?
Just asking because as I had a similar issue with OVH recently and discovered it was their fault.
They basically prevents applications to communicate with each others if they are hosted on different datacenters of them.
Hope this helps.
@MickaelAm everythink is ok now , exactly hey are hosted on different datacenters of them. it's work .
Now i dont find MAIL_DRIVE , MAIL_HOST in OVH panel (for contact page) , can you help me ?
Check your database and make sure you migrate your databases.
