All that's changed recently is that amazon has started blocking more mails that are sent without using a well known mail relay than it used to before. Therefore, it is critical you setup a mail relay, preferably, GMX as described in the FAQ. http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq....-using-calibre |
Kovid,
This old lady is feeling very stupid about getting gmx working. I was able to follow adoresbooks steps and get gmail working but I'd really rather use gmx.
I have a gmx.com account, used gmx button which filled in the defaults. Triple checked my username and password. Here's the error. Any suggestions?
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thank you so much for what you do for us.
