I use the same gmx account as the outgoing email server in Calibre This speeds up emailing the news since the delay Calibre places between outgoing email via gmail is eliminated.
Interestingly enough, I already had implemented this work-around using my gmx.com email address before your reply. I have been using gmx.com for a while because of the large attachment sizes allowed them.

I did not know about the delay calibre implements when using a gmail account to send content via email. Interesting.

When setting up the filter rules in gmx.com, do you know if it's possible to include two email addresses in the "forwarding" email address setting, possibly separated by a comma?
