Email Failing after 2.5.2 Upgrade

[Tim Heuer]

More woes in my upgrade. Email is no longer working.

I'm seeing this in my log:

System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for
'Subtext.Extensibility.Providers.EmailProvider' threw an exception. ---
> System.Configuration.Provider.ProviderException: Unable to load
default 'Email' provider at
Subtext.Extensibility.Providers.ProviderConfigurationHelper.LoadProviderCollection[T]
(String sectionName, T& provider) at
Subtext.Extensibility.Providers.EmailProvider..cctor() --- End of
inner exception stack trace --- at
Subtext.Extensibility.Providers.EmailProvider.Instance() at
Subtext.Web.UI.Controls.PostComment.OnSubmitButtonClick(Object sender,
EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e)
at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.RaisePostBackEvent(String
eventArgument) at
System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.System.Web.UI.IPostBackEventHandler.RaisePostBackEvent(String
eventArgument) at
System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(IPostBackEventHandler
sourceControl, String eventArgument) at
System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(NameValueCollection postData) at
System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean
includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)

My config is this:
<add name="SystemMailProvider"
type="Subtext.Framework.Email.SystemMailProvider, Subtext.Framework"
smtpServer="smtp.gmail.com" username="myu...@gmail.com"
password="mypassword" commentersEmailAsFromAddress="true"
adminEmail="t...@timheuer.com" port="587" sslEnabled="true" />

But it is not working (yes I've confirmed the settings in the gmail
account).

I also noticed that the Post Comment button actually posts the
comment, but then a) doesn't email and b) the comment doesn't visually
appear posted to the user (i.e., the button used to go away and the
comment temporarily added via JS).

This I remember happening sometime... was a bug in the upgrade procedure.

If not mistaken, it's likely that is missing the default provider.

Make sure the email provider definition starts with 

<Email defaultProvider="SystemMailProvider">

and not just

<Email>

Simo
