Calibre doesn't any more to device by email

[drix]

Hi,
since I have upgraded Calibre to 2.05 I can't send any more (by mail) any ebook to my kindle. It doesn't create the task.
any idea?

Upgrade to calibre 2.7 and try again. Let us know if you still need help.

My eMail via gMail still works perfectly.

Settings:

Send eMail from: my@gmail.com_address
Hostname: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 587
Password: correct google password (in my case it's an application specific password since I use two factor security normally)
Encryptions: TLS

Do you have to authorize an account to send content to Kindle?

How exactly is it ""not working"?

Does calibre create the task? Does the mail get sent through google?

You will need to authorize your email address at http://amzn.com/myk

Try using the test email option from the email setup in calibre, to make sure calibre can correctly send an email through your email account. If it doesn't work, post the error message you get AND MAKE SURE TO REMOVE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS/PASSWORD.

I believe authorization in amazon was set up because it was OK through chrome.

In Calibre, after test email, it shows below.

Below one came from Google support.

My client isn't accepting my username and password

If you're repeatedly prompted for your username and password, or if you're getting an 'invalid credentials' or 'web login required' error, make sure your password is correct. Keep in mind that passwords are case-sensitive.

If you’re sure your password is correct, you can try these troubleshooting tips:

Sign in to your account from the web version of Gmail at https://mail.google.com. Afterwards try accessing your messages in your mail app again.
If you're still having problems, visit http://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha and sign in with your Gmail username and password. If necessary, enter the letters in the distorted picture.
Your mail app might not support the latest security standards. Learn how to allow less secure apps access to your account.
Make sure your mail app isn't set to check for new email too frequently. If your mail app checks for new messages more than once every 10 minutes, the app’s access to your account could be blocked.
Try changing your password according to our tips on creating a strong password.
