ANYTHING CONVERTED TO " NEW" MOBI" never arrived at her kindle. That's an oldish kindle, if that's a factor
basically "send to kindle" is a mess - it's send & hope & you got all the permutations right.
not begin able to send anything that calibre file as AZW is ridiculous.
so, starting with epub, I need to convert to AZW to sideload and read on my own paperwhite, then convert again to old mobi to send to my daughter

If it is an older Kindle, that would be the reason. I believe the older Kindles cannot handle AZW files so a file that is a "new" mobi would not be able to download to it.
Have you tried using "both" when converting to Mobi? The files are a little larger because it contains both an older style mobi and a newer AZW style file. When you upload one of those, Amazon sends the appropriate format to each device.
Amazon also has a command line converter called KindleGen you can download that creates "dual" format Mobis that would do the same thing. It works pretty well.
