Calibre Problems

Kemstex · 12-28-2012, 07:27 PM

I have been a Calibre user for over a year. Great program. I recently had an epic fail of my hard drive and had to reinstall Calibre. The 64 bit version was available and I installed it (previously using 32 bit). I had zero issues until today when I tried to share [read:email] a book. Email failed. Tried another book. No luck. Tried to another email address: No luck.

I have had no problems Connect/Sharing via email in the past so I went looking for answers. It was suggested to "allow" the program within virus programs. Did that. When that didn't work I even uninstalled all AV programs. Still no luck

The Calibre user guide recommended using gmail. Tried that. Email still fails.

Searched this forum before adding this post but I was unable to find others with the same problem.

Running: Windows 7 (64bit)
Calibre Ver. 0.9.12

I am able to send the epub book as a gmail attachment. But no question Calibre is far more convenient and would love to have this functionality back. If history is any indicator I am probably doing something wrong but as of right now the only thing I can see that is different is the change to 64bit. Any ideas?

Calibre 64 and the old Calibre(32) are different programs to firewalls, you need to 'allow' which one is used (or both, if installed).. Be sure to use the 'test' button

theducks, thanks for the firewall tip. Problem resolved. Granted I tried the AV permissions but I missed that one. Thanks again!
