start here if emailing from calibre

I'm a recent calibre user, and my project today was to get the e-mailing feature working. Did lots of searching on this forum and finally found the solution here:

Clearly a simple solution but since you type it in in the set up to begin with you don't expect that you might need to type it in again somewhere.

Thank you dwanthny for quoting this! as it didn't come up in my forum searches, and clearly I needed a noob solution.

You're Welcome. I'm glad you got it working.

I must have quoted it because it seemed unique, because in the "send email from" field I have Walt, not a email address.

For any new users if you use the Use Gmail wizard (see attached) to set up your mail it becomes much less confusing.
