Thanks for the detailed instructions but I am still unable to e-mail books from Calibre to my Kindle 3. I can send documents from my e-mail address to the Kindle with no problem. I did get a gmail account and I triple checked that everything was correct as to the username and password. In this report it says that the username and password are not accepted but I checked many times that I was correct.
This is what the error message was when the e-mail failed. Will I be able to use this function or is it not possible. I do have VISTA on my computer. If there is a solution I will probably need step by step directions as I am not totally computer literate. Thanks for any suggestions.
