Connect/share feature

riverhorus · 05-17-2011, 04:06 PM

Anyone having problems with the connect/share email feature in Calibre 0.8.1? I've tried emailing books to several email accounts including my own but all efforts have failed with error message below. Book title and account addresses have been removed.

Use a free gmail account to send the mail. Setup the account and then click the use gmail button in Preferences->Sharing by email in calibre.
