Calibre mail server - Page 2

Mr Goyal,
I truly enjoy Calibre. So much so that I made a small donation. I thank you,
However I cannot seem to email from the program to my Kindle device.

Here is the error text.

Failed to send mail: SMTPServerDisconnected('Connection unexpectedly closed',)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 634, in _send_mails
File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtp.py", line 87, in sendmail
File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtp.py", line 79, in sendmail_direct
IOError: Failed to send mail: SMTPServerDisconnected('Connection unexpectedly closed',)

I am not sure if I have setup the program correctly. I did tell it the email address of my Kindle. Am I forgetting a setup step? (I have a google account just for this purpose)

Thank you,
John - Ohio USA
