Here is the response from yahoo.com attempted login. (Yahoo.com administers AT&T email.)


Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/wizard/send_email.py", line 209, in test_email_settings
File "site-packages/calibre/utils/smtp.py", line 182, in sendmail
File "site-packages/calibre/utils/smtplib.py", line 645, in login
SMTPAuthenticationError: (535, '5.7.0 (#AUTH005) Too many bad auth attempts.')
Basically, the bolded line says it all. Either the credentials calibre is using to authenticate to Yahoo.com are incorrect so you are getting an authentication error or your AT&T email account does not allow the type of authentication you are using. Much like having to enable POP3 and IMAP on your gmx account before calibre could use it.

Please note that I do not have an AT&T email account nor a Yahoo account.
