While I find Send to Kindle quite useful, I don't recommend the method you mention.

Calibre does not update the metadata in the actual book files that it has in its folder tree. If you have modified any metadata (title, author, ...) after the book was last converted then using your method will send a book without the metadata updates.

It is preferable to either use calibre's own email functions or use Send to Disk using Send to Kindle with that output file. When using either of these methods, calibre updates the metadata in the ebook file itself.
