Thank you, David.

I was attacked by a bad case of brainfartism.

I'm new to calibre, and, as cool as calibre is, it does not have the ability to magically set up an SMTP server.

My brain was maxed out on a complex process to get a large quantity of PDF files OCR'd and converted to flowable and searchable ebooks that have to be down converted to azw (not azw3) for an old Kindle DX. Mobi files are searchable (and also quotable) but wreck the formatting in the DX. The azw file are close to perfect. Now I can actually read the files on a big screen (I hate my paperwhite's baby screen), and search and pull notes from the files. (the DX is a portable, searchable, readable, research library)

And thanks to your tip, I now have a GMX account with aliases for my book publishing project and can keep all that stuff separate from my main email.

Thanks again.

Regards, Howard
