Sorry for any duplication here but some of the other posters about failed emails seem to be going into something that might be different from my problem. Anyway, THANKS for this supercool calibre service. I love it and would love it more if the automatic email to my kindle would work. I am using calibre to download the content and I can drag the content to my device when it is hooked up to the computer but the email way would sure be better.

First, I have confirmed that my gmail.com email address is a valid sender to my kindle.com email address. (I also tried it with yahoo which also is an approved sender to the my kindle.com email address.) Next, I successfully fetch the content of my choosing. Then, I get the failed email error messages that, as an example, reads:

So, what do I do to correct this problem?
