I am able to download books/metadata from the internet via "Download From URL's" as well as updating pre-existing books, so I don't think it's a problem of my firewall blocking Calibre from connecting to the internet. I will try putting your line of code in and see what happens.

Ok, just tried it and I got this error (I think it's the same one) :

calibre, version 2.31.0
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>gaierror</b>:[Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed

I'm not sure but it almost looks like it is unable to connect to Gmail. Does anyone have a setup that is working with a regular Gmail account?

Your antivirus may be blocking calibre from connecting to the network. Make sure calibre is on the exclusions list.

Add this to your personal.ini for the affected website:
