Mine still does. Since my limit is set at $0, @free.kindle.com and @kindle.com are the same for me. If they were to really eliminate @free.kindle.com, my email feeds from from places like klip.me, Instapaper, Readability, Kindlefeeder, and Calibre would mostly stop working. Hopefully I would then recall having written this post, and realize that I had to tell these services that my email address had changed.

However, when sending to the "@kindle.com" I don't get any confirmation that my documents are received/sent to my Kindle.
Does anyone else get the confirmation mail still?

I have a Kindle Keyboard 3G. If in WiFi range, so there is no substantial delay in receipt, I don't seem to always get the annoying-to-me notifications. If out of range, yes, I always get the notifications. Also for library books. Also for Calibre news feeds, even though in WiFi range. Could it have to do with use of @kindle.com vs. @free.kindle.com?
I would now normally make some snide remark about threatened elimination of @free.kindle.com being yet another reason to never get another Kindle. However, I've realized this weekend that competitors apparently do not have kindle.com type of addresses, making WiFi much less useful. Whether @free.kindle.com or free-by-setting @kindle.com or free-because-WiFi-only @kindle.com, the incoming email address is a super feature.
