How to increase tomeout in mail laravel

In Laravel, the default timeout for sending emails is 60 seconds. If you need to increase this timeout, you can do so by modifying the timeout value in the config/mail.php file.

Here's how:

  1. Open the config/mail.php file in your Laravel project.
  2. Find the driver section and look for the timeout value. It should be set to 60 by default.
  3. Increase the value to the desired timeout in seconds. For example, to set the timeout to 300 seconds (5 minutes), you would set timeout to 300.

Here's an example of what the updated config/mail.php file might look like:

'driver' => env('MAIL_DRIVER', 'smtp'),
'timeout' => 300, // increased timeout to 5 minutes
  1. Save the changes to the config/mail.php file.
  2. Restart your Laravel application or run php artisan config:clear to clear the configuration cache.

After making these changes, the timeout for sending emails in your Laravel application should be increased to the new value you specified.

Alternatively, you can also increase the timeout on a per-mail-driver basis by modifying the timeout value in the config/mail.php file for a specific driver. For example, if you're using the smtp driver, you can set the timeout value for that driver specifically:

'smtp' => [
    'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.gmail.com'),
    'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', 587),
    'timeout' => 300, // increased timeout to 5 minutes
],

Note that increasing the timeout may not always be necessary or desirable, as it can impact the performance and reliability of your email sending process. Be sure to test your email sending functionality thoroughly after making changes to the timeout value.
