I can't send e-mails from Opera

Hi!

I have a problem.
I use the default settings for IMAP, so I don't know where the problem is. I use opera a couple of years now, and two days before i could send e-mails. Yesterday I made a fresh install of ubuntu 11.10, and from that time i can't send e-mails.

Telnet:
telnet smtp.gmail.com 587
Trying 74.125.39.109...
Connected to gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mx.google.com ESMTP x22sm5653941faa.5

Opera version: 11.51 (build 1087)
Platform/operating system: Ubuntu linux 11.10 (fresh install)
I'm using Gmail service with IMAP

Thanks for the help!
Joseph

And what happens when you try to send a e-mail message?

In a pop up window: "Sending message failed". When I choose "open console" there is no more information about it.

username and password is ok? Secure connection is enabled?

It happens with all messages?

Secure connection (TLS) is enabled. The incoming mails are fine, so i think the password would be ok. Of course i tried to rewrite it again, but same problem.

It happens with all messages, wich i try to send.

There are a bunch of things at <http://operawiki.info/SMTPProblems> that you can try. See the part about logging and the part about the hosts file too.

The /etc/hosts file was bad. After the correction i can send the mails.

Did you remember how exactly it was messed up? (Good to know for future reference)

The second line was incorrect:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 roquentin.(null) roquentin

After the correction:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 roquentin

And Voilá: It works fine!

Thanks. It was probably the parentheses as I don't think those are allowed in hostnames.

Thanks! This resolved my issue too - I could access my IMAP account, read mail and use folders - but I could not send mail no matter what I tried. Removing the hosts file entry with the (parentheses) fixed the issue!
