I apologize, in advance, if this post comes off as rude - our migration, at work, to Office365 is NOT going well (it's a horrible mess, brought on by our District Office's mandate to upgrade) and I work in the Department (I.T. Services) that's responsible for trying to appease the staff who are calling and screaming at us saying that their email is broken.

If I understand this thread correctly, in order to get Calibre to send my RSS feeds (via email) to my Kindle Paperwhite, I have to create a Gmail or GMX account?!

I'm sorry, but after finally closing all of my Google/Gmail related accounts due to privacy concerns as well as I've found better alternatives elsewhere I'm not too keen on opening a brand new gmail account just for use with Calibre. I know that GMX was listed as another viable option - my experience with GMX, however, was not a good one (their Support staff refused to resolve a "bounced emails" issue I was having with one of their email servers.

To me, it's irrelevant as to who caused it (whether it was Calibre or Amazon). At this point, I can either do one of two things:

1. Create a Gmail or GMX account to get this working, which I previously stated I'm not interested in doing.

or

2. Stop using Calibre for my RSS needs and subscribe to one of the low-cost RSS Services and be guaranteed to receive my feeds.

I'll go with the $1.99/month RSS service I found.

Sometimes I REALLY hate Technology!
