Calibre fails to send book via AT&T email

rcdawson · 05-23-2020, 12:37 PM

I am unable to send email via my AT&T email account. I was able to send email via a gmx account, but I would prefer to use my usual email account.

Here is the response from yahoo.com attempted login. (Yahoo.com administers AT&T email.)

Traceback (most recent call last):

Basically, the bolded line says it all. Either the credentials calibre is using to authenticate to Yahoo.com are incorrect so you are getting an authentication error or your AT&T email account does not allow the type of authentication you are using. Much like having to enable POP3 and IMAP on your gmx account before calibre could use it.

Please note that I do not have an AT&T email account nor a Yahoo account.

I do have an old Yahoo account. I never use it because Yahoo email is awful. I found to much valid email going to spam and too much spam not going to spam. So I gave up on it.
