Sending Books to a Kindle from Gmail in Calibre. I've faced and hopefully help others out if they're suffering the same problems. Of is whitelisting the email address you plan to send documents to your Kindle from, this can.

(Solved) - How do I set up Calibre email? Aka Why does Calibre email hate me?
(4 posts)I've been using Calibre & I love it (even if it is a bit slow with a larger collection).
I saw a how-to-geek post about Calibre wherein I discovered the email capability I was previously unaware of.
I tried to set it up on my Kindle Fire to no avail. These may be things every geek knows, but how do I know what hostname and port to use? Username and password for what? I have Calibre on a win 7 machine and I'm trying to get it to email from a gmail account.
I did add my email to the Kindle approved email list.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In this article although not for Calibre specifically is all the information about host name and port. Host name is imap.gmail.com. Port is 993. Other items you might need are there, too. SSL is required. Authentication, if ask, is plain. Your email address is your user name and your email password, the one you use to sign on to Gmail, is the password. Be sure to select IMAP if ask and not pop3.
If that doesn't help, try the calibre forums at http://www.mobileread.com/foru.....php?f=166.
Thanks for the help you two. I'm set up and good to go.

I have been working on this all day. Have removed Kindle PC registration and folders and then reinstalled and authorized. Just won't work. have active python 2.7.13 and pycrypto 2.6 installed. This used to work like a dream on my windows 7 pc. wondering if it is a windows 10 problem.
