external classes and PHP files in Laravel - Class not found

I have two php files and I already created a folder called "ExternalClasses" and added the file to that folder. In my php file, I add this line:

namespace App\ExternalClasses;

and in my controller I add this line:

use App\ExternalClasses\CCheckMail;

and this is how I use it:

$pricesClass = new CCheckMail(); 
$email2 = ['[email protected]']; 
$prices = $pricesClass->execute ($email2); 
return view('pages.home', compact('prices'));

but it gave me an error:

Symfony \ Component \ Debug \ Exception \ FatalThrowableError (E_ERROR) Class 'App\ExternalClasses\CCheckMail' not found

Here is my php file (CCheckMail.php):-
