Problem

Opera stated that it will only include e-mail services that support them for mail:to links, which excludes Gmail. Let’s add Gmail support, so we can use mail:to links to compose a new message in Gmail.

Solution

The window below appears when clicking a mail:to link. Mail:to links are just links that are associated with e-mail addresses, which allow you to compose a message to said address.

Just edit a file called webmailproviders.ini, the full path to this file should look something like C:\Program Files\Opera\defaults\webmailproviders.ini.

Add the following code to the end of the document, via any plaintext editor (like Notepad, or Notepad++):

[Gmail]
ID=8
URL=https://mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s
ICON=https://mail.google.com/favicon.ico

Save the file, restart Opera, and you’re done!
