The default 5 minute timeout on emails would hopefully protect against any large import. (It would generate a large, slowly draining queue, which would be awesome!)
Personally I only do small imports of one or two documents at a time, but having it be completely hands off would be so great.
Completely understand your reasoning Kovid.

This was fairly easy to hack into Calibre. What a beautifully designed application. And great getting started documentation.
I subverted convert.py::auto_convert_auto_add which is called for all auto_add files, and forced it to call book_auto_converted_mail instead of book_converted.
I had to grab email_config(), and currently have it hardcoded to expect there to be a default email setup.
Will try and clean it up a little so it doesn't barf if there is no default email, and gracefully falls back. Attaching patch file in case anyone is interested.

Nik, do you mind giving me a run through of how you implemented the patch? I'm new to the software but would really love to be able to implement this.
