I am new to this so bear with me....

I just downloaded Calibre today, and wanted to email some books to my Kindle using the kindle.com address. Began by trying an existing Hotmail account, when that failed I created a Gmail account. All with no luck.

I have read some comments that DRMed books will not open at all on Calibre, mine open just fine. I am able to use the ebook reader in Calibre to open the files. Just to troubleshoot the problem I tried to fetch the USA Today news, it got the news but failed to email it. I tried changing the encryption from TLS to SSL, then none.....no luck. I AM however able to email a PDF file directly from my Gmail address to the Kindle.....however the same PDF will not email when using Calibre to do so.

I am unable to connect my Kindle directly to my Mac as I am traveling and don't have the connection cord, but will do so in the next couple days.

I know emailing books to the Kindle SHOULD work, because I've seen almost no one complaining about it. Any ideas at all? Should I convert the format prior to emailing? If so what should I change it to? My books seem to be in the MOBI format now.
