Reset password email is not sent by Devise - ruby-on-rails-3

Question

Rails 3.2.13, Ruby 1.9.3
My Devise controller is working fine sending emails, with one exception: sending the reset password instructions email.
When I click on the "Forgot your password?" link, I get the message:
You will receive an email with your password reset instructions in a few minutes.
But, I do not receive the email. Following is the relevant dump from the log file:

Answer 1

Check the SMTP Mailer settings in your config file, from log it is showing that mail is sending correctly but it is not delivered, because of SMTP settings problem.
Correct the smtp settings and check the mailer from console
Ex:-
Notification.forgot_password("sample#test.com").deliver

Answer 2

Having the line ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp in config/environment.rb overrides ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :test in config/environments/test.rb.
So, add that line, ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp' from config/environment.rb and place it in config/environments/test.rb. That allows you to place
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :test in config/environments/test.rb.
Note: You must restart your server for these changes to take effect.
In config/environment.rb:
# Configuration for using SendGrid on Heroku
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => 'smtp.sendgrid.net',
:port => '587',
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => 'app[my app number]#heroku.com',
:password => '[something super secret]',
:domain => '[let's get this party started!.com]',
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
Worked for me.
