Queued mail sends automatically

Certainly! Here’s a solution to your issue:

When you queue a mail in Laravel, it gets pushed onto the queue driver you have configured in your .env file. If your mail is being sent immediately, it’s likely because your queue driver is set to sync. The sync driver processes jobs immediately, rather than waiting for a worker.

How to fix:

1. Check your queue driver in .env:

   QUEUE_CONNECTION=sync
   

   If it says sync, change it to a driver that supports background processing, such as database, redis, or beanstalkd. For example:

   QUEUE_CONNECTION=database
   

2. Run the queue worker:

   After changing the driver, you need to run the queue worker to process queued jobs:

   php artisan queue:work
   

   or

   php artisan queue:listen
   

3. Migrate the jobs table (if using database driver):

   If you use the database driver, make sure you have the jobs table:

   php artisan queue:table
   php artisan migrate
   

Summary:
Your mails are being sent immediately because your queue driver is set to sync. Change it to a real queue driver and run the worker to process jobs in the background.
