unable to email to Kindle

I download from a couple of web news services and auto-email them to my new Kindle. Up to now, it has worked fine, but since the last upgrade (0.7.20) it is now failing.
this is the detail:
ERROR: Failed to email books: Failed to email the following books:

BBC News

Failed to send mail: error(10054, 'An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 596, in _send_mails
File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtp.py", line 83, in sendmail
File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtp.py", line 75, in sendmail_direct
IOError: Failed to send mail: error(10054, 'An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host')

Nothing has changed in the emailing code for a long time. I would suggest you setup a free gmail account, that's the easiest way to get it working.

Hi all, I am new to mobile read, calibre etc....I've tried to send books to my kindle email address, I have set up the new gmail address in preferences, i did the "test email" but I am getting the following error:

File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\wizard\send_email.py", line 98, in test_email_settings
File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtp.py", line 103, in sendmail

Do you have any idea how I can fix this? (PS I am not very computer literate)!

Thanks

After you set up the new account, did you go back to the Amazon site under "manage my Kindle" and add in the new email address as authorized to send your Kindle email. If not, that is probably your problem.

That's an authentication error, which means your gmail username and/or password are wrong.
