Turned off the firewall. Same messages

This is like a brand new computer, and brand new Calibre. I am checking to see if I might have changed something else. I wasn't getting metadata downloads of the book summary, but I had turned off downloading comments. I will report back if I find anything. I really love sending by email, but sideloading is effective, as well.

@Sydney's Mom - Have you read this since your upgrade ==>> I cannot send emails using calibre?

FWIW : I send all mail via my ISP's mail server, if that's not there then I've probably lost my internet connect. And if there's a problem at least there's someone I can call who has skin in the game.

Yeah, firewall plus antivirus is the common culprit.

I venture to say your GMail settings are fine, if it worked before.

The Application specific gMail password, I have run into that with other programs.

Also increase your wait time to 15 seconds, that was in a post sometime ago.

I simply enabled "less secure" apps. (Scare quotes deliberate.)

That email address isn't important enough to care about.

I recommend not using gmail. In the last year or so, gmail has introduced various "security" features that make using it from anything other than the web interface *cough*ad delivery interface*cough* much harder.

Instead, create a free account at gmx or hotmail and use that. Don't forget to add the new email address to the allowed email address in your amazon manage kindle page.

Personally, I use a throwaway account at GMX I created for just this purpose.

Thanks, but GMX was not working for me. Kept getting a page not found-I couldn't sign up! I turned off my darn firewall, and I still couldn't sign up.

Well, I suspect the problem isn't GMail anyway, not if it used to work mere days ago.

Anyway, you can always make sure as I said in the other thread, by checking the settings for "Less Secure" Apps.

It does seem that calibre cannot connect to the internet.
Does metadata download work?

Have you checked your antivirus in addition to the firewall?
