Thank You adoresReading!
Thank you so much for your post, adoresReading! I've been tearing my hair out trying work out why Calibre seemed to have suddenly stopped emailing to my kindle.
Everything back to normal now. Thank you again. |

Okay, I just registered here to post this. I have been using Calibre 0.94 for years with no email to Kindle problems with multiple devices. Stopped working a few weeks ago as everyone else reports. I upgraded to Calibre 2.64. That version provides a Python error and won't run on Win7-32bit. Downgraded to 1.48 after full uninstall of 2.64. 1.48 gives identical results as 0.94. I have the email preferences set to use my Comcast smtp outgoing server, it successfully tests (as usual). Same as everyone else, test message generates amazon no attachment message. When I send actual ebook file no error message but nothing shown in amazon pending deliveries and nothing ever delivered. If I send the file through Thunderbird using identical email settings as Calibre configured with, it works fine. I am at a loss to understand how Amazon can tell the difference; my machine is sending the file using same outgoing server either with Thunderbird or Calibre. If I send from Calibre to myself the email looks fine. Same originating email address in both cases. Reading the FAQ tells me to use GMX and to select a "GMX button" -- which does not seem to exist in 1.48. Any suggestions now?

This old lady is feeling very stupid about getting gmx working. I was able to follow adoresbooks steps and get gmail working but I'd really rather use gmx. I have a gmx.com account, used gmx button which filled in the defaults. Triple checked my username and password. Here's the error. Any suggestions? Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\wizard\send_email.py", line 201, in test_email_settings File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtp.py", line 128, in sendmail File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtplib.py", line 323, in connect File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtplib.py", line 298, in _get_socket File "socket.py", line 571, in create_connection error: [Errno 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond Log: connect: (u'mail.gmx.com', 587) connect: (u'mail.gmx.com', 587) Thank you so much for what you do for us.

I also struck trouble relying on default settings, Kovid set me straight in post 58; it might help.

@n3ic 2.64 works fine on windows 7 32 bit, but in any case you dont need a Use GMX button, all that does is fill in the fields for you. You can always fill them in manually.
@dixievelcro: That is an error connecting to the gmx server, that means there is either some networking trouble or the server is down or something on your computer security/antivirus is blocking the connection. |

I give up with gmx
Quote:
On another note, thank you for the gmx introduction even if this isn't working for me. I do the web site and e-mail newsletter for our local library and the e-mail newsletter REALLY wanted me to stop using gmail. We now have a gmx account. Thank you.

For the record, I've been having the same email to kindle issue as everyone else. I've just been slack about getting around to trying to figure out the problem. I have a gmail account and I've been using Calibre to send via Amazon to my Kindle for years.
I read the fix offered by adoresReading and tried it on my PC. It did not work and test email failed. So I reset the server settings back to what they were (mostly blank except for Port 25 and Encryption TLS.) Now test email works fine again but I still can't email to my Kindle. I created a gmx account and set it up per the excellent FAQ by Kovid. I did not have a gmx account before, but it was a simple process to set a free account up and configure Calibre to use it. Just use your gmx email address as both your email and user name. Now Calibre is working just fine sending books to my Kindle again! And I also changed the delay from 301 to 5. I hope that doesn't get me flagged. I don't send that many books, so I expect that won't be a problem. Also, I did not have to allow less secure apps. So that was a plus. |

I apologize, in advance, if this post comes off as rude - our migration, at work, to Office365 is NOT going well (it's a horrible mess, brought on by our District Office's mandate to upgrade) and I work in the Department (I.T. Services) that's responsible for trying to appease the staff who are calling and screaming at us saying that their email is broken.
If I understand this thread correctly, in order to get Calibre to send my RSS feeds (via email) to my Kindle Paperwhite, I have to create a Gmail or GMX account?! I'm sorry, but after finally closing all of my Google/Gmail related accounts due to privacy concerns as well as I've found better alternatives elsewhere I'm not too keen on opening a brand new gmail account just for use with Calibre. I know that GMX was listed as another viable option - my experience with GMX, however, was not a good one (their Support staff refused to resolve a "bounced emails" issue I was having with one of their email servers. To me, it's irrelevant as to who caused it (whether it was Calibre or Amazon). At this point, I can either do one of two things: 1. Create a Gmail or GMX account to get this working, which I previously stated I'm not interested in doing. or 2. Stop using Calibre for my RSS needs and subscribe to one of the low-cost RSS Services and be guaranteed to receive my feeds. I'll go with the $1.99/month RSS service I found. Sometimes I REALLY hate Technology! |
