Emails are being logged, not sent!
To send actual emails, configure SMTP in your .env file.
Check storage/logs/laravel.log to view logged emails.
.env fileMAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=your-email@gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=your-app-password
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=your-email@gmail.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME="Uptaste Admin"
php artisan config:clear
Note: For Gmail, you need to use an App Password (not your regular password).
See EMAIL_SETUP.md for detailed instructions.
