The last thing I would have thought of is configuring SMTP settings
through IMAP connection customization. As I mentioned earlier, I
don't have any issues with reading emails from any of my accounts—the
problem was specifically with sending mail and selecting the correct
value for smtpmail-stream-type. Apologies if I misunderstood your
point, but I did read the info pages you referenced, and I didn't
find anything related to setting up SMTP there.
