Things I have done:



The email I have set up in Calibre is listed in my Approved Personal Document E-mail List in my Kindle settings.



Ensured my firewall is not blocking the server,



my antivirus is not blocking calibre,



my GMX email has the appropriate POP3 & IMAP settings,



my GMX email is set as the hostname and username and the password is correct



And my PC is not registering my kindle right now regardless of the USB I use so that is not a work around.



My kindle will receive emails of the same files I have loaded in Calibre if I send them from my gmail account, but not when I try to use the send email function in Calibre. And I have tried using my gmail as the sending address in Calibre, also doesn't work.



Any suggestions are much appreciated, thank you

Are you certain you want to set the hostname to your email? I'm not able to look at calibre right now but shouldn't that be the the gmx SMTP server name?
