Outlook India not accessible for last 2 weeks on calibre

[Doc_A]

Hi guys any help with this problem would be most appreciated. I am not a techie but have attached the error log.
I have been able to access outlook for years
ever since I started using calibre. . However for
the last 2 weeks the download has not been working.

Thanks in advance!

Many thanks.

I have tried copying and pasting into the recipe source code box in the add custom news source section. I am however getting an error message - either unexpected syntax or unexplained indent. I would be most grateful for some clarification.

Thanks again.

Just run the download as normal, the builtin recipe is updated automatically.

[Doc_A]

Thanks a lot. One last q - when I download the Economist and open it with the Kindle app (on any platform) I can see the cover. However when I download Outlook, I never get the original cover - I just get Outlook and the date off download on a white background. Is there a way the actual cover could be displayed instead (like for the Economist)?

[kovidgoyal]

You will need to modify the recipe to tell it how to get the cover from the outlook website.

[Doc_A]

Thanks - however I spoke too soon - only the front cover is being downloaded, no content.

[kovidgoyal]

Just wait a few hours for the servers to update.

[Doc_A]

Thank you - it is working. Thanks for calibre and the great service!
