Calibre not emailing books out.

Avanindra500 · 01-07-2017, 03:05 PM

Hello folks. I love Calibre and have used it for 5 years with an iPad. Not familiar with coding.

Just switched to a Kindle Voyage, have converted my ePub to Mobi (old) and manually tested email to my Kindle with "Convert" in subject line (email outside of Calibre). Comes through fine with the cover.

In setting up Calibre to automatically email, receiving the following error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\wizard\send_email.py", line 203, in test_email_settings
File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtp.py", line 132, in sendmail
File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtplib.py", line 334, in connect
File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtplib.py", line 828, in _get_socket
File "socket.py", line 553, in create_connection
gaierror: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed

Log:
connect: (u'mail.smtp.yahoo.com', 465)
connect: (u'mail.smtp.yahoo.com', 465)

Suggestions please.

There does not exist any server named

mail.smtp.yahoo.com

I suggest following the instructions https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq...-using-calibre (use gmx) for easiest email setup.
