Download (epub or mobi) from Content server.
Email (epub or mobi) via calibre's email feature.
Convert a file, as you found out epub to epub conversion works fine.
Use the Modify ePub plugin to update your books metadata.

Essentially anytime you export a book out of calibre the metadata gets updated.

I agree with unboggling leave your Titles as titles in calibre and use the metadata plugboard to insert series info in front of the title when you send it to your device.
What is the recommended process to "inject' the metadata into PDF and RTF formats ?

RTF->RTF conversion, PDF->PDF conversion and write to disk do not update author if it's not empty, and the PDF->PDF conversion will more often than not produce output that's not fit for purpose.
