email set up problem

Sigreen · 07-30-2013, 04:07 PM

Hi, firstly, must say, love Calibre, great bit of software.

I'm having trouble with my email.

I've set up a kindle gmail account, which works fine as far as I can see. I used this account to set the email feature up initially, but I got an error message, (can't remember what it was now, sorry) so I re ran the welcome wizard, except now, when I click the gmail button, nothing happens, so I'm unable to enter my account details.

Can anybody come up with a quick fix or suggest a workaround?

I've transferred the files via usb so it's not a huge issue, but I'd like to use the full functionality available via email if at all possible.

Your firewall is probably blocking.

Preferences: Sharing (section) Sharing by email.

You can edit, remove or add account (and profiles)
For Kindle, I believe you need to do something at Amazon's Manage My Kindle to set up where mail will be coming from.
