Hello can you help me? I am trying to get calibre (version 7.45) to send newspapers to my kindle via email (through the free.kindle address). I am using a gmail account which I have authorised in my kindle account but it doesn't work. I get the following error message:

[[[[[[Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\wizard\send_email.py", line 114, in test_email_settings
File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtp.py", line 103, in sendmail
File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtplib.py", line 303, in connect
File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtplib.py", line 281, in _get_socket
File "socket.py", line 567, in create_connection
error: [Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it]]]

what can I do to fix this?
