The file extension tells you nothing: a file with a ".mobi" extension can contain either Mobi7 (the "old" Mobipocket format), KF8 (AKA "AZW3" - the newer format), or it can be a so-called "dual Mobi" file which contains both.

Mobi7 and dual-Mobi files can be emailed to a Kindle. Files containing just KF8 cannot be.
