SMTP is for sending.
Make sure the same settings work in a regular email program like Thunderbird.
You have added your own email address to the Kindle Web page management? Not your own Kindle email.
Amazon only accepts sending addresses you have added.
Go Amazon -> Manage Content and Devices -> Preferences
Bottom of page: Personal Document Settings
Add any email address allowed to send to your Kindle.
Elephant in room!
Send To Kindle messes up the format compared to Calibre & convert to AZW3 and USB transfer
USB Transfer is faster and Kindle is charging. No Internet needed.
Send To Kindle gives Amazon a free copy of of whatever it is.
So multiple issues.

My Amazon account IS set to receive PDOCS from my own email address, not my kindle address. My kindle address is the address I sent to from my calibre library. It's not because I have the wrong or missing addresses, but the wrong mail port settings and suffixes.
That said .... you triggered me to change the settings to the smtp suffix, input port 465 and checked SSL encryption .... and it's working again!!!! So I think my ISP changed the settings again without telling me!. I also checked through historic posts (mine) when it happened before and that was saying they told me THEN they'd changed from the aforesaid to the mail. suffix instead of smtp and changed the port from 587 to 25.
When I actually spoke to a technician on the phone this week, she told me that it doesn't matter if it's incoming or outgoing mail, the suffix will always be mail. for both! I'm still IMAP ... as I prefer that. But thankfully, now all working again. Something so simple can make such a big difference. So, thank you Quoth for the trigger on smtp.
