Description Yotam Benshalom 2007-05-02 16:22:53 UTC 
Problem: mail I send to myself does not appear in my Inbox.

I use Evolution with gmail POP account. Whenever I send myself a message it appears in my gmail inbox (I can see using gmail's web interface), but it is not downloaded back to Evolution's inbox.
This behaviour, which appears to be intentional, is problematic, because sending a letter to yourself is an important diagnostic tool. I want all of the messages in my gmail account to be downloaded, no matter who has sent them.


Distribution: Ubuntu 7.04 (feisty)
Gnome Release: 2.18.1 2007-04-10 (Ubuntu)

works fine for me here, i guess this is not an evolution problem, but perhaps a server problem.
Comment 2 Yotam Benshalom 2007-05-17 23:15:46 UTC 
Additional info: this happens only when I send myself mail using the gmail smtp server. Maybe it means that this is a gmail behaviour, but then again, maybe not.
Comment 3 Yotam Benshalom 2007-05-20 15:33:42 UTC 
OK, this is a Gmail feature.
reciting from http://mail.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=troubleshooter.cs&problem=bugflow&selected=bugflow_pop28:
"When you send a message to your Google Mail account from your POP client, you will not receive a copy. However, messages you send to your Google Mail address from your Google Mail account will arrive in your inbox if you are the only recipient."

well that's a gmail issue not evolution. Thanks for your report.
