First time user having issues
Hey everyone!
I downloaded Calibre last night, since I just bought a Kindle Paperwhite and am looking to put some ebooks on it. I am interested specifically in being able to email myself books over wifi. I am having a mountain of trouble with this task. I have watched several Youtube videos and have done a few hours of Google searches, attempted to troubleshoot the issue myself, and have failed. So here's the issue: When I select my book (Fahrenheit 451, in this case), right click, select "connect/share>xxx@kindle.com> go to the jobs section and it is indefinitely stuck on "unavailable" for progress. When I go to preferences and type in my email address that I want the book sent from, it is an authorized email address (as per the suggestions of everyone online). I have also tried to set it up so that the email is sent from google's servers (host name-imap.gmail.com>encryption-SSL>Port 993) and that doesn't work either. When I run the test email, this is the error message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\wizard\send_email.py", line 173, in test_email_settings File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtp.py", line 135, in sendmail File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtplib.py", line 577, in login File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtplib.py", line 539, in ehlo_or_helo_if_needed SMTPHeloError: (-1, 'BAD Unknown command l21mb40973909iol') Log: Does anybody have any suggestions for me? |

After running another test email with the modification made, this is my error message:

Also, I added the host name account to my authorized emails in amazon. It reads xxx@smtp.gmail.com. Is that correct? I am still getting the same error message, and cannot email myself the ebooks. |

This is a very common oversight. Amazon blocks all incoming emails except those that are on your account's "white list". If you fail to add the email address that you are using in calibre then Amazon will block the email. |

Is this done through Amazon under "Manage your content and devices?" If so, I have added both my email address (xxx@gmail.com) as well as the host name I inputed (xxx.smtp.gmail.com). I still can't seem to get it to work over email. Thoughts?

If that does not work then I would recommend you open and use a GMX email account. luck bernie |

I made a new gmx account and it worked fine. Obviously this isn't ideal, so if anyone has any solutions I would appreciate it.

Google now tries to get you to use OAuth, and uses scare tactics to pretend plain old smtp is "less secure". So far, Google apps work properly as a so-called "more secure" app, but I don't think anything else does. |
