Sending failed

Help please. Calibre e-mails to kindle won't go. I have told my windows firewall to allow Calibre
I repeatedly get the following sort of message whatever I try to send:

Starting job: Email Telegraph.co.uk to XXXXX@kindle.com

Sending failed...


Retrying in 1 seconds...

Can I also ask the following questions please?
Do Amazon actually charge for e-mails?

I noted that someone had an e-mail address with the Domain Name @free kindle. Does anyone know if this gives free document transfers and if so how can I go about getting an address of this kind?

I don't know what all that gibberish means, but did you add your email address (from which you are sending the email) to your Amazon.com account's approved email list, on the Manage Your Kindle page?

You have this free.kindle.com address already, as long as your Kindle is registered. My Kindle is registered as pidgeon92K3, so my email address for my Kindle is pidgeon92K3@free.kindle.com.

Looks like Calibre was unable to find the domain of your email address server. Make sure you have it set up correctly with the right smtp port and correct server settings.

I use a gmail address for my Kindle sending. No problems but I can't seem to get Calibre Send Email and Plugboard to work together So I usually just save to disk then use my email client to email the book to my Kindle.

Thanks, for these replies. I was hoping to get Calibre to email a newspaper daily direct to Kindle whilst I am abroad on holiday.

I remember I had to do something in Calibre to get e-mails to work properly but can't remember what.

This was several updates ago though.
