How do I configure the calibre content server to download news?
Hi,
I am tired of starting up my laptop every week to download my news, so I fetched an old laptop from the basement and installed an ubuntu server on it. I found descriptions on how to install calibre on it, but I couldn't yet figure out how to configure the software to dowload news and send it to my kindle via gmail. Would someone please help me with that? Thank you. Regards, Fabian |

You need to be asking in a linux forum for help with that. Google cron.

Sorry for being so anoying, but I got so far:
calibre-smtp -u <<me>>@gmail.com -p <<my password>> -r smtp.gmail.com --port 587 -e TLS -a economist.mobi -s "The Economist" Two questions: Is that correct? And how do I specify the recipient? |

calibre-smtp [options] [from to text]
from to text are how you specify who the email is from and to whom your are sending it. |
