I have mailto set to mail.google.com, but clicking on email addresses on websites does not take me to gmail and a new email; actually sometimes nothing has happened, and today a new tab is opening. I have the most recent version of Opera, 58.0.3135.68. Anyone have any suggestions?

Is Gmail set as the handler for mailto protocol?

Yes, as noted I have mailto set to mail.google.com. I go to Content Settings, then Handlers. This has worked at times in the past but it doesn't now, even after clicking the Default button again.

You can go into opera://settings/handlers, delete mail.google.com, restart Opera, go back to mail.google.com, view some messages (if needed) to get Gmail to ask you to associated mailto again and allow it to see if that helps.
