I cannot send email from calibre - please help

All of my setting are correct as I have verified them with another user and the settings are exactly the same.

Try this: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255

Note that Google is making a bald-faced lie when they say it is less secure. So far, Google is the primary entity interested in OAuth for logging into an email account. To wit, they pretty much demand you use only their email clients. Awkward on the desktop...

I sincerely wonder if Google is going to start requiring you to type in an OAuth token when you try logging in via the browser.

Bad move, Google.

I found the answer myself. If anyone else is having the problem I went to

https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps

and changed to TURN ON LESS SECURE APPS
