Cannot email books to Kindle Touch

[lroldan]

Hello,

I just bought a Kindle Touch, and am having trouble sending books to it via Calibre. I know that this topic has been discussed many times, but can't seem to find advice that helps. I am using my home computer, a gmail account (with IMAP enabled). I have no knowledge about firewalls, but use McAfee. Below are the response I get when I test the email (which I also don't understand), and the actual error message. Any advice is much appreciated!

RESPONSE TO TEST EMAIL SETTINGS:
