Email URL not working

Hi,

I'm trying to get the URLs for updating from my email. This has been going smoothly for past few months. While running today encountered following error. Thanks for all the help in advance

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

That's an SSL error.  The most common causes I can find are:

- Temporary problem with the site server: we saw this ourselves in 2018.

- Problem with the SSL version used in Calibre: shouldn't be the case, you're using a recent Win Calibre version which bundles its own libraries.

- Problem with a proxy: solution seems to be "don't use a proxy".

- Problem with server being out of date: don't know who's mail service you use, so I can't comment on how likely that is.

Not using a proxy, connected directly.

Using Gmail only and its working if I connect directly.

Will wait and try after 3-4 days
