calibre-smtp usage

duluoz · 06-12-2022, 09:11 PM

Hi - not a recipe request I know, but Gmail has changed they way they authenticate email sending, which means that the way I usually send email on the command line using calibre-smtp has broken.

Has anyone else noticed this and found a workaround yet?

Thanks

Solved this now, but leaving the thread here if others have the same issue. You need to turn on 2 step authentication on Gmail, then add an app password. This password will be the one you use with calibre-smtp instead of your Gmail password.
