Sharing by email not working

smschwentner · 03-25-2017, 11:43 PM

I have used the share by email option several times in the past, however, lately it has not been working. It gives me an error every time, no matter who I try to email to. This is the error that I get:

Sending failed...

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\email.py", line 44, in run
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\email.py", line 134, in sendmail
File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtp.py", line 135, in sendmail
File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtp.py", line 127, in sendmail_direct
IOError: Failed to send mail: error(10060, 'A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond')

Just curious as to what is happening and how I can fix it?

Your CONFIGURED host (ISP?) is not completing the handshaking, needed to send mail.

Did you (or they) change your mail account (or rules)?

Sharing is caring and obvious you don't care.

I use Gmail, so I don't know. I haven't changed anything that I am aware of.
