Problem with Calibre and new pc

I apologize for my clumsiness. I am a junior member. I only infrequently use this forum, so I am not really familiar with its protocols. Due to my relative ignorance, I would welcome any help that you may be able to provide.

As I said, I use Calibre to email my subscription to the New Yorker magazine to my Kindle Paperwhite. My old computer recently died. I then reloaded the latest version of Calibre onto my new PC. When I go to "Fetch News", find the New Yorker, and press "Download Now", I just get an error message, which is attached below.

I don't know if I need to change any of the settings on the Preferences/Sharing/Sharing Books by email page. I have EPUB and MOBI listed in the Formats section. The box for autosend is checked. I completed the "calibre can optionally use a server to send mail" section as follows:
Hostname: smtp.gmail.com; Port: 465
User name: the email address previously entered for "send email from"
Password: the password for my email address
Encryption: SSL

These are the settings that I used successfully on my old computer using Windows 10. My new desktop computer runs on Windows 11.

Thanks for any help that you can provide.
Error message is attached as a pdf below.
