Send an automatic email on Laravel 8-CodePudding

I'm doing a project with Laravel 8 where I need to send an automatic mail everytime the user click a button. I've created all the structure, even following some tutorial because I had no idea of how to do it, but even if i see the "Email sent" page, the email doesn't show on gmail. I really need some help(even if I'm sure that the problem is stupid, but I can't find the error). So there is the code. This is my .env:

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
[email protected]
MAIL_PASSWORD=mypassword
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
[email protected]
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

This is my route:

Route::get('send', 'App\Http\Controllers\mailController@sendEmail');

The mailController:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Mail;
use DB;
use PDF;
use App\Mail\TestMail;

class mailController extends Controller {
    public function sendEmail()
    {
        $details = [
            'title' => 'Mail from veronica',
            'body' => 'This is for testing'
        ];

        Mail::to("[email protected]")->send(new TestMail($details));
        return "Email sent";
    }
}

The TestMail(the is inside App\Mail):

<?php

namespace App\Mail;

use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;

class TestMail extends Mailable
{
    use Queueable, SerializesModels;

    public $details;
    /**
     * Create a new message instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct($details)
    {
        $this->details = $details;
    }

    /**
     * Build the message.
     *
     * @return $this
     */
    public function build()
    {
        return $this->subject('Test Mail from Veronica')->view('mail');
    }
}

And in the end the mail.blade.php:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
    <title>Test Mail</title>
</head>
<body>
     <h1>{{$details['title']}}</h1>
     <p>{{$details['body']}}</p>
     <p>Thank you</p>
</body>
</html>

That's everything I've modified, as I said if I go to http://localhost:8000/send I can see "Email sent", but I don't recive the mail.

If I can I would like to ask another thing, the next step is to attach to the mail a .pdf with some informations, I know that I have to use ->attachData("document.pdf", $pdf), but where do I have to put it?

Thanks so much for your help!

Your laravel app may be blocked by google service as unsecure, so you need to allow new app in your gmail account. Go this links:

And check security options.

After you have authorized the application, you need to wait a bit. Sometimes it takes 20-30 minutes for a change to take effect in GMAIL account. So be patient

Try changing the MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com to MAIL_HOST=smtp.googlemail.com
