Email Books To Kindle
I've been using the email function in calibre to email my books to my kindle devices. I've set up the email functions, supplied my gmail user id and the app password generated by google, but suddenly I get an error "Bad Credentials" and that Username and Password not accepted.
I know my gmail ID is correct and I copied and pasted the app password directly into the password field. These are my entries: hostname: imap.gmail.com Port: 465 Username: my gmail username Password: app password generated from google Encryption: SSL Any ideas? Thanks! |

Works for me here though I'm using smtp.gmail.com instead of imap. You might want to redo the app password since I've found that they seem to stop working randomly and a new one is required.

Third time must be a charm! I changed it twice before I posted but now it's working again.
Thanks. |

Good to hear that you got it working again.
