I have tried to get email to work in Calibre so I can send books to my Kindle using different servers and it always fails. Here is the error output:
Code:

I have checked and re-checked the server settings, passwords, etc. and all is correct. I looked for the files referenced in the log (email.py, etc.) and they are .pyo files. That's no help to me.
Also there is a reference to "via Preferences->Tweaks". Where in Calibre is that???? Ctrl-p brings up a lot of stuff, but nothing is labeled Tweaks. Is that just a Windows thing?
