Older Laravel versions < 5.5

If you're using Laravel >= 5.5, package discovery will configure the service provider and Client alias out of the box. Otherwise, for Laravel <= 5.4, edit your config/app.php file and:

• Add the following to the providers array:

  Webklex\IMAP\Providers\LaravelServiceProvider::class,

• add the following to the aliases array:

  'Client' => Webklex\IMAP\Facades\Client::class,

Publish the configuration file

It's highly recommended you use and modify your own copy of the config file. Execute the following command to publish the package config file. It will be placed under config/imap.php.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Webklex\IMAP\Providers\LaravelServiceProvider"
