Why do my sent emails show up in inbox?

I have a gmail account that I use for my iphone email. Everything works fine, except...whenever I send someone an email, a few minutes later I hear the "email chime" and I think "oh good, they just wrote back." However, sitting in my inbox is a copy of the email I just sent to the person. Any ideas why this happens and how I can get this to stop?
I went in to my email settings and "Always Bcc Myself" is OFF.
Thanks!

I'm really sorry, but I'm not sure what a POP account is...I wanted to be able to use the email system built in to iphone so I created a new account online via gmail and then set up the account in my iphone using instructions from a book I bought (the iphone pocket guide).
More importantly, I cannot find the "recent" setting you mention within the email setting on iphone.
Thanks for being patient!

Why do my sent emails show in my inbox?

I am using Gmail with the Apple Mail app.
When I select "Inbox" it also shows my sent mail whether it has replies or not.
How can I get the Inbox, Sent, etc selections again?

This has been posted before.
This is a feature of Gmail. Everything you send gets sent back to you so you always have a copy of it on the server, no matter where you send mail from (iphone, mac, pc, etc). For example, with most mail servers, if I send mail via the mail application, the only place I can view it is from that mail app. If I go on a different computer and try to view the mail I sent, it will not be there. This is why gmail sends a copy to the server.
Not sure if you can get rid of it. I just move them into the sent folder.
Try searching the forums, there might be more answers.

Sent email showing in .mac inbox

I searched about this and saw others having issues with Yahoo and Gmail accounts, but didn't see any regarding .Mac.
I send email from the iPhone and it shows up in my inbox on the computer as well as going to the person I sent it to. Why? How do I stop this?
Thanks
Ron

It seems that the Mail prefs on the computer were the problem. Under Accounts>Mailbox Prefs> checked the Store sent messages on the server and this solved the problem.

Sent email showing up in inbox, BCC not selected

Hi, Recently I've been noticing that my @me emails are showing up in my inbox whenever I send a message even though I have not selected to BCC myself on messages, anyone have any troubleshooting tips, this is really annoying and clogging up my inbox and making conversations hard to track with this happening. Thanks! Steph

Have you checked to make sure you aren't CCing yourself?

Why dos my sent box show 140 emails when I have none?

My iPhone 5 seems to be having an issue with phantom mails, but unlike most of the questions across the forum, this relates to an empty sent box showing 211 emails (but it appears that there are none, and I have deleted all my previously sent messages).
Anyone?

My computer does this too. It also has made my Sent Button disappear and refers me to a "send later" solution. which is do not get or have. Shake the tree, maybe a nut will fall. Crack the nut and there you will find the Chinese answer!

Sent email turns up in inbox on my laptop why

Does your MacBook have "Store sent messages on the server" set in your iCloud account? It should, if you want the iPhone to be able to see messages sent from the MacBook.

Why Do 1000s of Emails Show Up?

Hi;
Since updating my iPhone 4S to iOS7, the number of emails showing up on my Mail badge is at an incredibly high number (3,975 today). Is there or will there be a fix for this soon?
Thanks!

I have the same problem and it is killing me. Apple store technicians were not able to help. This is a data protection that is affecting my privacy. If this issue cannot solved then I will not be able to send confidential emails. It *****.

Sent messages showing up in Inbox

Ever since I upgraded to an iPhone 3GS from an original iPhone I've been having a strange thing happen when sending email from my iPhone. I am getting an copy of every email I send show up in the Inbox of the account I used to send the email. For example if I send an email from my MobileMe account to my Gmail account I get a copy of the email I sent in the Sent folder, as I should, and I get a copy in the Inbox of my Gmail account, as I should, but I also get a copy of the same email in the Inbox of my MobileMe account, which I should not. This never happened on my original iPhone.
I have tried deleting the email accounts from my iPhone and syncing them again via iTunes and problem still persists. This is annoying and I would like to find out how to stop it. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Regards,
Michael

Interesting here for me...I have had the BCC myself off for sometime...yet I'm still getting the copies of everything (sent/etc.) into my inbox. This didn't start immediately when I bought the 3gs. I'm thinking that I turned on BCC me once...but somehow it's "stuck" or something. Ideas? Ditch mail account and start over?

TS3276 Lion mail; sent emails show up in the draft folder as well as the sent folder. Often the draft will appear a day after the email was actually sent

Lion mail
Emails that have been Sent show up in the Draft folder as well as th e Sent folder.
Often they may not show up in Draft folder until the next day.
Is there a correction for this?

no, I only use mac as my incoming and outgoing server.
What I did was un check the draft box in the mail preferences,
and will see if that works. Since I use only the computer for emails
the cloud isnt being used to its max anyway.
Thanks taking time to share
