[CharleeBG]

I've been using Calibre for about a year with a very simple and basic understanding of how it works. I got a gmx email address and have been happily emailing docs to Amazon & my Kindle until a couple of weeks ago. Now none of the emails are going through, gmx says my email address doesn't exist, and I get this error when I try to create a new gmx account:
A technical error has occurred. Error Code: d3960a93-899e-4cbb-bd8f-9359cd4b45fb

Is it me or has gmx gone bananas?

This is an example of the error I've been getting from Calibre:
