Hello all,
I have used Calibre successfully for several years. I encountered a hiccup with its use about 18 months ago which was initially managed by creating a gmx.com email address.... but recently I have been unable to transfer books from my Calibre library to any of my devices (I use Kindles and apple devices running the Kindle app), via "sharing via email", using any of my kindle emails AS WELL AS when I try to use my gmx email... here is the error message below... any help (layman's level, please!) would be very much appreciated,
thank you,
