Calibre won't email books (but email and delete works)

roofone · 02-06-2011, 11:48 AM

I'm using Calibre 7.44. I'm posting here before logging a bug on the (good) chance I'm over looking something and it's just user error.

The details:

I cannot email a book to my kindle via gmail -- no job runs
I CAN email and delete -- job runs, book shows up on my kindle as expected every time (weird, eh?)
Gmail test works fine (as you'd expect given point 2)
This worked -- I'm think -- on some version prior to 7.44

Do I have a setting wrong? Or does it work differently than I expect?

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

there's a bug, use the Email to sub menu instead of the top level email to action.

That works -- thanks.

(Don't know why I didn't try that.)

Have you got Gmail running on another PC or mobile phone? If so turn it off, that worked for me
