Vista - Mail and GMail issue

I have set up my GMail account for POP access. I had no problem receiving emails through GMail using Outlook Express. However, I can receive all emails sent to my GMail account through Mail except for ones I sent myself. Any ideas?

This is normal for Gmail. I've experienced the same Gmail bug for
years already, as have others.

It hasn't been normal for me. I had no problem doing this on XP with OE but cannot now do it now with Vista and Mail.

What's the problem?
Windows Mail can access Gmail accounts just fine.

Finally figured it out. Open email, go to contacts, this brings up HP
Administrators-contacts. Highlight the contact you want, click on email tab
and type your message and send from this location. Once this proccedure is
done, then you can go directly to email and click on create mail, and type in
first letter of contact and it will import the list of contacts in that
group. Highlight contact, and all is well from there on out. What a pain in
the but to figure out.

Sorry for not being more clear. I have no problem receiving emails from other people sent to my GMail account by using MS Mail to connect via POP. And I can send emails to others using MS Mail through GMail.

However, if I try to send MYSELF an email, that email shows up in my GMail account but is not then downloaded by MS Mail via POP.

Thoughts?

"whinton" wroteI think, since the same problem exists with Thunderbird
you can discount Windows Mail as being a particular
factor in the problem.

Both Gary and myself raised the issue with Google yesterday.
They asked me for more info (my WM configuration) which
I supplied in spite of my belief that it is not a WM issue,
but they haven't yet hinted at possible cause or solution.

It could well raise it's priority, the more the merrier,
if you also raised it with them.

One of the tricks Virusites and Phishers use if to send you an
email spoofing your own address so your SPAM and VIRUS
filters will pass it. GMail "probably" blocks receiving messages
from the same address for this reason. There might be a GMail
setting for this.... I have not looked.

I will pass this along to the Google folks.

The odd thing is that this worked fine when I was using OE on XP. I had no problem sending emails to myself.

And in fact, now I can send emails to myself from within GMail and they are then downloaded to MS Mail. But if they originate in MS Mail, then aren't downloaded to MS Mail. Weird eh?

That is why I think this is a MS Mail issue rather than a GMail issue. The only thing that has changed has been moving from OE to MS Mail.

"whinton" wroteIt is weird, and even weirder if a WM issue affects Thunderbird...

It actually puts Vista itself in the frame, no?

Anyway... let's see what Goggle say.
