Receiving email from myself

whenever i send a message it goes to the desired recipient but i also receive the same message from myself in the inbox.
how do i change this?

This is very unexpected if using Gmail, since generally Gmail does not even deliver an email intentionally sent to yourself. I will have to review the Gmail settings possibilities, since it would seem something has to have been intentionally set to cause.
More after review.

  • Why can't I receive email from myself?

    I want to forward email to my own account in order to change the subject line and file it but when although it's in the "sent" folder, it never shows up in my new mailbox. I am using Mail, I recently upgraded to Tiger. Any ideas? I've made sure my own address is in the Address Book, to no avail.
    Thanks...

    It's a POP account with Verizon.net. And having said that,
    I just tried going to my mail via the browser instead of Mail and found the problem was that Verizon.net was putting my verizon.net mail into the Spam folder! Go figure. When I identified myself as "not spam" (duh) it released it to my Mail account.
    Problem solved!! Thanks to everyone who helped!

  • No longer receiving emails from Thunderbird, but available on Windoes Mail.

    Since 5-1-14, I no longer can receive emails from my default account in Thunderbird. I have other computers that use Windows Live Mail that receive the emails, and I can get them on my cell phone. I have checked my settings, and nothing has changed. I recently sent myself an email from another account, and it did not arrive either.

    Make sure Thunderbird is allowed by your personal firewall.

  • IPhone won't receive emails from one specific person

    My iPhone 4S will not receive emails from one specific person.
    It sends and receives emails from anyone else ok, I can send emails to this person with out problem, but it will not receive them.
    If I check my webmail it is there, but it won't download to my phone? If I forward their email to myself from the web the forwarded one will be there, but not their original?
    I receive emails from others in the organisation ok. And it used to receive them all ok, on about December 27th it stopped?
    Anyone have any ideas on why this has happened and what I can do to fix it.
    Thanks
    Mike

    She did have a 1 in front of the number, however she deleted it and the texts still aren't going through. Any idea what else it could be?
    EDIT: Spoke too soon, just came through. It was just liek 20 minutes delayed.

  • Having problems "receiving" email from a friend.

    For the past month, I have not been able to receive emails sent to me by a friend. My email address is the same. His address is the same. Nothing has changed. He has a yahoo account. He does not get any indication, or message his email bounced, or failed to deliver. Neither do I. It just doesn't arrive. I am able to send emails to his address. I have been receiving emails from his address for years. Just stopped working. I'm stumped. Any ideas?

    i receive test emails to myself just fine. I did discover today that another email my friend sent went to my mobileme junk folder. Another test email he sent went to junk folder on my mac. Previously, I didn't see his emails in my junk folder at all, but they could have been. How do I make sure his email address isn't blocked or marked as junk? Is it as simple as making an entry into my address/contact book? Obviously, I should have already done this, but I haven't done that. Thanks for your response.

  • I receive emails from an exchange account and from Yahoo the exchange acoount emails stay on my ipad ok but the BTyahoo ones disapear after about 1 hour. Can someone advise on how to stop yhis happening.

    I am having problems with my ipad. I receive emails from 2 seperate accounts one exchange account and the other from BTyahoo.
    The exchange account emails stay on the ipad but the btyahoo ones disapear after about 1 hour can anyone help.

    To follow-up with this issue:
    I ended up performing a security wipe on my device. The security wipe finished, and I was about to reconnect with Exchange when I decided to visit our host's web site to see if they had any articles covering the issues I was experiencing. While they didn't have anything specific, I did find a step-by-step guide to connecting a BB10 device to Exchange... and right there at the end, it said "Do NOT enable memo sync."
    I contacted support, and the rep told me that OS 10 has an issue with memo sync and it can cause all sorts of unpredictable behavior. Now, whether or not this is accurate I can say this: So far, the device is not disconnecting and reconnecting like it was before. Problem is, is this a result of not enabling memo sync, or is this a result of the security wipe?
    I may have overlooked it, but I don't recall reading anything about that anywhere else. I'm tempted to try re-enabling the memo sync to see if everything blows up again. At least that way I can see for myself if the memo sync is a real issue. Of course, perhaps it's an issue with SherWeb (our host) specifically. Hm...
    Anyway, for those that were interested, and for those that may come along in the future with a similar situation, the strange behavior that I first reported is no longer happening. I just don't know if it was a result of a security wipe or a result of not enabling memo sync with Exchange.

  • Since upgrading to IOS 8.1.2, I cannot send/receive emails from either of my Apple or Verizon email accounts.  Does anyone know how to fix this problem or how to go back to IOS 8.1.1?

    Since upgrading to IOS 8.1.2 on my iPad3, I cannot send/receive emails from either of my Apple or Verizon email accounts.  I confirmed that my internet connection is working. Does anyone know how to fix this problem or how to go back to IOS 8.1.1?

  • After upgrading to Yosemite, I don't receive email from Gmail users

    Using a MacBook Pro, 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD internal hard drive.  OSX v10.10.2
    My primary email address is an .mac/.me/.icloud email address.
    Recently upgraded to Yosemite.  After doing so, I am having trouble receiving emails from Gmail users (I am not having trouble sending emails from my Gmail account, as many people have).
    I asked 8 of my friends with Gmail email addresses to email me a test.  I received 4 of these emails immediately after they were sent, the other 4 email took anywhere from 4 to 48 hours for me to receive.
    Anyone else have this problem, and if so, any solutions?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    There have been various posts about delayed Gmail e-mail delivery to iCloud e-mail addresses, but so far, no solutions. Gmail uses a nonstandard form of IMAP e-mails, which may be causing the problem.

  • Can't send or receive email from one account

    Just bought the iPod Touch last week. Set up Hotmail account with no problems. However my MacDialup.com account (used to be dial up, but is DSL now) won't work at all. They aren't set up to use SSL, so I turned that off after the iPod automatically tried it. I tried IMAP and POP, tried changing incoming server port number from defalt 143 to 110, triple checked spelling on every single entry including password. Tried calling my ISP tech support and talked to a tech who owns an iPhone and lives in the bay area, but he couldn't figure it out. I tried deleting the MacDialup account then syncing the Touch to my iTunes on my MacBook Pro (which has no problem sending or receiving email from this same account) and had the email settings imported from the MacBook Pro - still no luck. Tomorrow I'll try bringing both my MacBook Pro and iPod Touch into the Genious Bar. Maybe they can figure it out.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

    Do you have one, two or more entries in the left colum of Mail.app for your mail server(s)?  That is, do you have your Mail.app set up with either a btinternet entry, with a btyahoo entry, or both?  Or more?
    I'm guessing that you might have one account (btyahoo?) listed for incoming (IMAP server) mail, and with the outbound (SMTP server) mail is configured and named btinternet.
    Based on what little I see posted, it looks like BT uses both btinternet and btyahoo, but I'm not exactly clear on how they have their stuff set up, and their web set gets helpful and tries to help configure my mail — I don't immediately see a single web page with the mail server set-up details.  The BT email client set-up starts here.

  • How do I set up an account to receive email from my SMTP relay Server. Have I made a SMTP Server config error?

    Hi,
    How do I set up an account to receive email from my SMTP Relay Server?
    I've setup the SMTP feature and set my Server to use anonymous authentication.
    Things appear to look ok.
    But I can't connect make a test connection to it when I am trying to add an email account in Outlook.
    I could be doing something wrong here.
    This is my process.
    1. I have setup my SMTP Server.
    2. Created a user account in AD and given it an email address.
    3. Opened Outlook and tried to manually add a POP3 account by specifying the incoming and outgoing Server details.
    But when I go to test the connection on the email setup it keeps failing.
    Please help.
    Thanks

  • Can not receive emails from third party email accounts

    Recently I started working for a small business which has small business server 2011 and exchange 2010 installed. Before I started there were eight user accounts and they all have unlimited email access. I created a few users through sbs AD and also from
    exchange console a week ago. Unfortunately none of them can not receive emails from third party accounts. they all can receive internal emails and also can send mails to any email accounts internally and externally. 
    This is a night mare for me as new users are having trouble with communicating via mails. I have tried all the methods and now thought of posting this issue on tech net. Please help me on this!!
    Thanks a lot!!

    Checklist for testing inbound email problems, I am assuming outbound emails works ok.
    1. Check Port 25 forwarding on all modems routers/firewalls
    2. MX Record is created and pointing to the correct Public IP Address, use MXToolbox.com to verify MX Record and test SMTP flow. Also Verify your public IP has not changed, use whatsmyip.org to check you public IP
    3. If using POP Connector Service, make sure POP accounts are created properly
    4. If using a 3rd party spam host, make sure they forward email to correct public IP address, use step 2 to verify your public IP.
