hey there, fellow email-problem-haver here!!

i set it all up, using the google app passwords. i was messing with metadata and columns at the time so i was testing this in a seperate library because my main library has 17k fics in it. it worked fine, but as soon as i moved back to my main library (didnt change any settings or touch anything!) i get the:

gaierror:[Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed

popup with this error text beneath

i looked it up and saw you said it was an IP/DNS problem and sometimes waiting could fix it and seeing as it had just worked, i couldnt think of a reason something else would have messed it up so i left it for a few days, and it still didnt work, so i tried changing to a new google app password and it still didnt work. that was about a month and a half ago (ive been procrastinating fixing this, im basically reworking my whole calibre/fanficfare setup so i did other things) and i tried it again today, and yep, not working.

any ideas as to what the problem might be? ive added a picture of the set up in case ive missed something obvious (very possible). would changing the google password again be a good idea or is that what broke it? do i have to create a whole new email account and redirect (and if so, ive just read that outlook doesnt work, so what does?)
thanks for reading!
