I'm new to the forum and to ebook creation, so bear with me please. I scoured for existing posts but can't find what I need. I'm trying to email my ebook to my Kindle account via yahoo, and I'm getting:

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 128, in sendmail
File "site-packages/calibre/utils/smtplib.py", line 308, in connect

File "lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 553, in create_connection
gaierror: [Errno 8] nodename nor servname provided, or not known


I'm using hostname: imap.smpt.yahoo.com and port 993 which should be correct. It is for every other device I own (including the mail app on my Mac). I tried removing "imap" but the job times out every time. I tried send to kindle and to myself, but nothing is working. Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong.

My firewall is turned off, so I don't think that's the problem.

Second question (a stupid one). I'm trying to get the ebook to a beta reader, but Calibre created multiple files: azw3 epub, mobi, jpg, opf, zip, and I have no idea what to manually sent (for kindle) I tried emailing the azw3 and zip files by attaching them to an email, but Kindle Support rejected both.

While I'm trying to figure out how to get my email connectivity in Calibre straightened out, can someone please tell me which files I should be manually emailing to kindle.

Any help greatly appreciated!
