can't connect to internet

adamcanderson · 06-16-2015, 05:12 PM

I just got a new computer. I had calibre working fine on the old one.

On this one, I'm not able to get it to send email.

I've tried both gmail and another account. I get the same error for both:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/wizard/send_email.py", line 172, in test_email_settings
File "site-packages/calibre/utils/smtp.py", line 128, in sendmail
File "site-packages/calibre/utils/smtplib.py", line 307, in connect
IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
----------------------

Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas?

Thank you,

Make sure calibre is allowed through your firewall.

remember that firewall and A/V software (and lists) get frequent updates. Sometimes false positives happen and you NOW need to allow manually.

thank you for your responses. i don't have a firewall, i don't think. i do have opendns as a filter for internet consumption, but i don't think that should have an effect because it doesn't on my other computer. i'll run some more tests,

It would help if you told us what sort of computers and which operating system/versions

I have this same problem. I am running a MAC with Yosemite and Calibre 2.31. I used to be able to send books via email through Calibre now every time I try to I get an error message like the one noted above noting a broken pipe. I tried turning off my firewall to test and see if it was the firewall. I also updated my Calibre to the latest version and set up a gmail account specifically for sending ebooks via Calibre. Still, no luck. I have also made sure that the email address I am sending from is in my allowed list. Every time it fails with a broken pipe error.

Any suggestions?
