Whether I send the edited file to "Main Memory" (Kindle) or "Save to Disk" (pc) the only thing that has been edited is the title. No series name, no volume number appear anywhere. I don't even know where the series name and volume name is actually supposed to show up when I look at the book in the Kindle Library.
But on Calibre itself, the series information is correct/shows up, right?

The Kindle does not support series information. That's the reason we use Metadata plugboards to add series info to the title. Basically, your Save to disk/Send to device books still won't have separate series info, it will just be part of the title.

Again, I posted instructions and an example of using Metadata plugboards here:

Once you have the Metadata plugboards setup, just Save to disk/Send to device again. The newly exported books should have the following title if you follow the instructions from the above post:
Series 01 - Title.
