Integrate Zoho SMTP Mail Configurations in Laravel?

The integration zoho mail in Laravel. we need to do is to set the Mail Configuration in the ENV of Laravel.

MAIL_DRIVER - set default value of zoho document is SMTP.
MAIL_HOST - follow the Zoho document, Check in which region your account is create you , For me the account is in the Indian region so I need to use instead of smtp.zoho.in. instead of smtp.zoho.com.
MAIL_ENCRYPTION - The mail encryption can be SSL or TLS.
MAIL_PORT - The mail port will depend on MAIL_ENCRYPTION. For SSL choose 465 and for TLS you need to set the MAIL_PORT to 587.
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS & MAIL_USERNAME - Both parameters will have the same value. The values should be the email address of the Zoho account. For MAIL_USERNAME, there is no information about what should be the value of this parameter. The example you’ll see will provide a dummy value example@zoho.com but what you need to use is simply the email address of your Zoho account.
MAIL_PASSWORD - At many places, you’ll find that you need to use the password of your account but you need to use an app-specific password. You’ll need to generate an App Specific address from your Zoho account dashboard

Example - in your .env file in laravel project set or change following variable values

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.zoho.in // check your account region
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=SSL
MAIL_PORT=465
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=youremail@domainname.com
MAIL_USERNAME=youremail@domainname.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=123456
