I have the same problem, and tried with a talktalk email address and a gmail one, to no avail, when trying to send a pdf file from Calibre. Always the same error message.

My solution was to abandon Calibre and send a normal email to my Kindle, with the ebook pdf file attached, and with the word "convert" in the subject box of the email, as explained by the Amazon Kindle website.
This worked without problem.

Calibre seems to have developed a bug. I also used it in the past, earlier this year, to send and convert a pdf file without a problem, but it won't work any more, at least for a pdf file.

It is not the version of Calibre, since I tried with new and with older versions.

I am on win7 using Nortons 360 and Kindle 3.1 update. Previous to the updates to kindle and calibre I was able to email books.

Much appreciation and thanks to anyone that can solve my issue.
