First thanks to Kovid for a wonderful tool. It is feeding my new Kindle3 with no problems at all as long as it is connected. However, I cannot get email to work and am getting the following errors, which are little help to me:

Without Server:

The formats are the default [AZW,MOBI,TPZ,PRC,AZW1]. automail is checked. I have tried with and without the email server. I have checked the to and from addresses. I have tried various downloads, some of which have been transfered via USB and others not yet. I have even done a manual email from my gmail account to my @free.kindle.com -- it worked perfectly.

I don't see anything else to try. Please help!
