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.

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

Thank you, I have now got the gmail working, I sent a tester and it was fine. But I still don't seem to be able to send books to my kindle, I am not getting any error message, but nothing is happening at all...just seems to ignor my request? I have registered the gmail address under the "manage my kindle" section of Amazon.com....any other suggestions? thanks
