Post Another email account issue

Hey there ... so I'm back again with another email thing. I'm still having the issue below, where I get the credential error with gmail.com (I'm apparently a unique snowflake). Unfortunately my inbox was getting fairly full of unread updates, so I decided to try and fix it another way (after checking on this thread and updating FFF to its most recent version). I opened a hotmail account and linked it to the gmail account. And it worked! It happily ran through and grabbed all 400+ status updates and then picked up the actual stories. I was very pleased (you have no idea).

Two days later (that's today), I'm now getting THIS error (I've rebooted, restarted Calibre, prayed to a god that obviously isn't listening, re-entered all of my config info for the email section, tried the gmail again just for kicks, offered my computer a bribe, taken an Excedrin ...).

Even with that, I'm still getting an error. I haven't changed my credentials with gmail, and I did re-enter them in FFF just in case they were corrupted. I've restarted and I continue to get the same error.



This is a dedicated account for FF.net emails and has 187 unread notifications. I'd try lessening the amount to see if it's overloading, but my guess is that it's failing before it even gets to that.

Thoughts on what could be the problem?

That is odd.

I'd also try changing the email password and maybe try using a standalone imap4 client like Thunderbird to see if it has the same problems.

The only other thing that comes to mind is: how often were you checking for new emails?

Well I tried it a couple days ago when I set up the account. I didn't try it again until this morning. I've only got 27 emails in it that need grabbed (and some are probably duplicates), but I was mostly just wanting to stay on top of it. And bask in fixing the issue. My basking parade was rained out unfortunately.

I'll try the password thing then see what Thunderbird is about. I've not used it before (or heard of it), so I'll look into it. I have no idea how my stuff is different than everyone else but I'll get it figured out eventually. Thank you for looking into it!

It might not be anything on your end. I use Mozilla Thunderbird and every once in a while my two Outlook.com emails throw IMAP errors for an hour or two. They usually go back to normal on their own but once or twice I've had to re-link it.

When updating metadata, is there some way I missed to make it "New only, unless Undefined"? I'm still working on adding that huge cache of fics and I keep forgetting to toggle the settings back and forth.

Clear that column for all of the fics you're updating before you do it?

Honestly, I'm not sure I understand what you're asking for or why you'd want to.

Sorry if I'm unclear. Words are sometimes difficult for me.

I have FFF set to "New only" on a few of the metadata columns so they don't keep replacing whenever I update them (e.g. authors who changed their username).

This works under normal circumstances. However, some of the stories I'm importing (PDFs, converted to text to get the URLs) don't have metadata for those fields, so when I download new metadata they don't get filled in.

It's easily fixed by switching off "new only" and using the update-from-metadata-column option to fill them in, but I thought there might've been some option I missed.

Are you also 'updating' to download to epub? Or only to gather metadata?

Because if you're downloading also, I would:
  1. Select the desired books (after doing your pdf->txt dance), then;
  2. Use the 'Get Story URLs from selected books' option, copy all the URLs, then;
  3. Download them anew from URLs either by deleting the selected books first or using 'Add New'.

To download to ePub. I've just been using the update ePub option, but downloading anew could also work. Thank you.

Something I noticed:

If you download a fanfic by Bob Smith and have "force author into author sort" enabled, it works correctly: it's "Bob Smith" in both Author and Author Sort of the book metadata.

However, in the Manage Authors window, it sorts as "Smith, Bob" which causes the author sort field to highlight red because it doesn't match.

I searched the thread and looked through the wiki and didn't find any other mentions of this, so I'm not sure if it's a glitch or not.

I don't see that in 'Manage Authors' dialog, but I'm not dead sure we're looking at the same place.

I see red around Author sort in book Edit metadata, but I don't see red in 'Manage authors'--but it does show swapped 'Smith, Bob' even if the book has 'Bob Smith' in author sort.

Calibre expects you to want to do "Smith, Bob" in sorted. I believe you have to make some changes in Calibre Tweaks settings if you want it to stop 'helping' with that.

FYI, Calibre has a separate authors table under the covers, if the same author has multiple books, it can be a challenge to change author case for example.

I should've been clearer, the red field was in the edit metadata window.

Thanks for the information. I found the author_sort_copy_method tweak so I'll test the settings and see if they help.

Is there a way to tell FanFicFare to only use a downloaded image for the cover if it's above a certain size/resolution?

(I just had a somewhat amusing incident where a 16x16 icon that was used inline in an AO3 fic was set as the cover...)

No, but it might be possible to add such a feature. I'll look into it.

Thanks.

Question: Some while ago in this thread there was some talk about a feature to update the title pages from the saved metadata. Was that ever implemented?
