I'm having an issue trying to send an email from Calibre to my Kindle.com account. The tricky bit is it worked before, but I hadn't sent anything for the last few months and now there is a problem. I've tried using both my home email and gmail account, but neither work. I have both of these emails set to accept on my Amazon account. The error message that I get with the gmail account when I use the test setting is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\wizard\send_email.py", line 173, in test_email_settings
File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtp.py", line 113, in sendmail
File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtplib.py", line 610, in login
SMTPAuthenticationError: (535, '5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at\n5.7.8 http://support.google.com/mail/bin/a...r=14257\n5.7.8 {BADCREDENTIALS} lq4sm25274107pab.19 - gsmtp')

Any suggestions?
