Answer 1

LARAVEL 7 *cannot send message without a sender address *

---

go to you .env file which is located at the root of your folder

---

Then set your configuration for mail like this if you are also using smpt.mailtrap.io as MAIL_HOST.

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=******username******
MAIL_PASSWORD=******password******
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=john@example.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

---

now to set your MAIL_USERNAME and MAIL_PASSWORD click here to go to mailtrap

---

now sign up or login if you already have an account for it.

---

then click Inbox then select demo inbox there you'll find the integration dropdown then select for Laravel and it will provide you with the username and password required to fulfill you .env file.

---

then save the information in your .env file for you Mail Configuration.

---

Now the most important part is that you run these two command line in your terminal.

---

run php artisan serve again

---

run php artisan config:clear

---

Then do your process and check out the mailtrap inbox. for me it worked like this.
