For Laravel 6 you should use it like this:

// Backup your default mailer
$backup = Mail::getSwiftMailer();

// Setup your gmail mailer
$gmail = new \Swift_SmtpTransport('smtp.gmail.com', 465, 'ssl');

// Set the mailer as gmail
Mail::setSwiftMailer(new \Swift_Mailer($gmail));

// Send your message
Mail::send();

// Restore your original mailer
Mail::setSwiftMailer($backup);
