Calibre email error?

I was able to get it fixed on my own. Thank you for trying to help me!

I click connect & share - email - blahblah@kindle.com

I am getting this error whenever I try to email.

Starting job: Email 1001 Dark Nights: Roped In to blahblah@kindle.com

Sending failed...

I have checked all my settings and even uninstalled and then reinstalled but all of my settings remain the same.

To make a long story short my cloud storage backup couldn't find Calibre so I made a new file name after I backed up a copy on my old thumb drive. The cloud storage just didn't work. They never did figure out what was wrong and I gave up. Calibre has never worked right after that. When I fist tried to reinstall it couldn't find any of my books so it rebuilt the data something. All my books showed up but it didn't work correctly even after uninstalling Calibre and reinstalling.

I am beyond frustrated with it at this point, ugh.
