I'm having the same problem. I'm using Windows XP / Kindle 3 / output mail:
xxx@hotmail.com / input mail:
xxx@kindle.com, and the error message is:
========
Traceback (most recent call last):

IOError: Failed to send mail: error(10060, 'A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond')
Log:

and I'm sure the accounts are working fine because I use them every day for sending books to my kindle.
Any help
