Send to Kindle email not functioning
I am running MacOS Mohave 10.14.2 with no antivirus software. Looking for any insights on how to fix the the following error when running a test:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/wizard/send_email.py", line 207, in test_email_settings File "site-packages/calibre/utils/smtp.py", line 136, in sendmail File "site-packages/calibre/utils/smtp.py", line 128, in sendmail_direct IOError: Failed to send mail: error(60, 'Operation timed out') Log: Find mail exchanger for kindle.com Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages/calibre/utils/smtp.py", line 121, in sendmail_direct File "site-packages/calibre/utils/smtplib.py", line 336, in connect File "site-packages/calibre/utils/smtplib.py", line 310, in _get_socket File "lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 575, in create_connection error: [Errno 60] Operation timed out |

Thanks, @kovidgoyal
Thanks. I had actually followed those instructions and posted because they don't seem to be working for me. I am sure I am doing something wrong. I have a gmx account, set to allow SMTP, have the email address set up on Amazon, and don't have anti-virus. I was hoping the error message revealed something I am missing.

According to the error message you are not using an email relay such as GMX, but sending email directly.

reply: '535 Authentication credentials invalid\r\n'
that line means gmx is saying your username/password are incorrect. Rememberthat gmx user names are full email addresses. |

It seems that GMX deleted my account (cant create a new one either).
Changed to Hotmail and it worked fine. |

I was able to mail books last wee, but I tried now and the send is failing and I tried to login to my gmx account and mine appears to be deleted as well.

I don't understand GMX, but how do you restore or correct the information in order for the email to work again. Something happened without me doing anything and now it won't work.

Try logging in to gmx.com. Likely, as happened to others , your account has been deleted, and you need to use another one to send to your kindle.

I know this message is kind of old but it's one of the first Google hits to come up when using Google to search for a specific error message when attempting to setup email sending of ebooks in Calibre.
Trying to setup Calibre on a chromebook and was testing the sending of ebooks using a kindle email account through GMX.com and got the "invalid credentials" message. Upon looking at my GMX inbox, I had received a message from GMX that an email program was trying to interact with their servers but that functionality was currently turned off for my account. I had to specifically enable POP/IMAP access for my GMX account. After enabling, I was able to successfully send a test email in Calibre using my GMX.com credentials. |
