OK, so tried sending via Hotmail. Once I remembered to add that address to my Amazon account's approved senders list I was able to send first Dilbert as a control test and then WSJ. Both came through without a problem. I had the same headaches setting up Roadrunner that I remembered when I first started using calibre (test e-mails failed, probably a port # issue) so I let that one go.
So that should be another piece of evidence that the problem lies somewhere with gmail. Doing a google search on "gmail" (vaguely incestuous, I know) and "e-mail problems" for the past week of results shows that gmail had some problems with Android recently and that they reworked some code for Nov 9, which is right about when I first started having the problem with WSJ. Perhaps this is an unintended consequence of their recoding? Way above my pay grade.
Well, in any case, I can use Hotmail until the gmail issue is resolved. Thanks for the help.
A couple of follow up questions, and I apologize if they've been answered elsewhere:
1) Is there anyway calibre can show that an e-mail attempt is currently in progress? It took a few failed efforts my first time using calibre to realize that just because a job had been completed did not mean that I could close callibre right away and still find the feed had made it to my Kindle.
2) Is there a way calibre can send specific feeds to specific, different e-mail addresses? I can think of plenty of reasons why this would be useful to some users while undesirable to some content providers and therefore not a good idea as an included feature.
Thanks again!
