Hi, I've not been able to get either the auto or manual email send to my free kindle address to work for me. I've searched these forums but have not yet found anyone having this issue - the solution for most of the send email issues appears to be "use gmail" as per the calibre user guide:
http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq....ails-using-app
However, that's where I'm starting - and am unable to figure it out on my own.
This is the error I receive when I "test" email from within calibre preferences panel for gmail (I've tried both the gmail and hotmail account setups and receive the same error response) - I note that it says "operation timed out" which seems to be a common thread here... however, I don't know what to do about that... thanks in advance for any help in resolving what may very well be a very simple solution.
