Gmail shows "Sent" emails in the "Inbox" folder

HTC 6800 (bell) using the builtin email app.
Every time i use Gmail to send out a email i see that same email in the "inbox" folder after. Whats even more annoying is i get notifications for this since the email i sent appears in my INBOX folder. When i check my "Sent" folder, its empty - even though ive sent 100's of emails from my device.
Anyone experiencing this? Anyone know what may be the cause of it?
I also have Lotus Notes emails being retrieved by my phone and i don't not experience this behavior with that account.

I was having the exact same problem, thanks for the solution.

Atropo - worked. thanks for the solution.

thanks!
ETA: looks like a spoke too soon, now it doesnt recieve any mail at all, and it deleted all the messeges that were already stored on the phone
suggestions?

I still have the same problem of sent mail being in the inbox as new mail.

Deep breath everyone...
You need the "recent:" in your login name or you won't get any emails at all. Seeing the sent messages in the Inbox is just a quirk of Gmail. Get use to it.

Any solution to this issue yet?

It would be nice to fix, but doubt it will happen.
I get a copy of the message I sent in my inbox on my 6800 even if I compose and send the message from the web on my Mac or from Entourage on the same Mac.
Like TC1 said, it's a GMail quirk...

Here's what I do to avoid loosing new messages and to NOT see your own sent items:
Setup a second GMail account, with any name you desire (no one will ever see it)
For instance:
[email protected]
&
[email protected]
Foward ALL mail from [email protected] > [email protected].
Setup your PPC to only check [email protected], but to only SEND mail using the login/password for [email protected].
And of course, use "recent:" before the username of the [email protected] account.
This works wonders. I've actually got about 7 e-mail accounts fowarding to my single mobile account. Granted, with this method you're always sending from just one account, but in the event you only have one and want Gmail to funciton properly, I find this is the best solution.
Hope it helps!

Gmail Imap POP3 Sent Box ? ? Help

This is what I"m Interested in. When I send emails from my Tilt, I want them to save to my Sent box, Just Like a regular txt message. I have Mail2web email but they dont provide this feature for the free Account. I love mail2web but the no sent emails in the box is my only Gripe. Now to remedy this I tried setting up Gmail, But for some reason when I set up Gmail using Pop3 any outgoing mail I send will appear back in mt Inbox as Well as my sent Box( This is Very annoying). If I set up Gmail using Imap, nothing will get saved in the Sent Box....
Any Ideas or can anyone help me with this Bug in Gmail or a better way to set this up ?

As of yet I havent been able to fix this.
In outlook 2003+ on windows you can specify IMAP folders but as of yet on Winmo I havent been able to do this.

Ok I thought I was the only Idoit not getting this to Work ! It's annoying and I've been working on it for about a week.... I"m Puzzeled !

even the online version of gmail sends stuff back to your inbox... makes it like threaded messages.

I Dont mean Including the Orginal txt in the Email. I mean it will resend me my out-going Email As a New email in my Inbox ?
It Does this online as Well from an actually Computer ? I"ve never experienced this ?

Has anyone ever found a solution to this ?

sending is not handled by pop3 or imap both those protocols are only for recieving
both of them use smtp for sending mails

i'm using IMAP for my gmail access and the default is to not sync the sent folder, anything i send only resides on gmail itself, i don't get it showing in my inbox as well. Haven't tried setting sent to sync as well, i don't need to see what i have sent.

mail2web is aggrivating me, any other FREE accounts out there? It wont sync 2 save my life,...

OK, just gone into the folder management side of my PPC's gmail account and flaged Sent items for sync as well as my Inbox and hey presto they have all appeared. Had to make sure the folder at the top was checked and not the obvious sent folder but its synching my sent items.
To clarify my PPC gmail folder list looks like this:
Gmail
[Google Mail]​All Mail
Bin
Drafts
Sent Mail
Spam
Starred​
and below this i have folders for any categories i have created as well as the default Inbox. Checking the top Sent Itmes has synched it with gmail.

Email Sync Problem - delete items

Quick question guys:
1. How do you setup the email client (yahoo for isntance, or google) in order to delete the files from the server too?
When I delete them, the HTC Sense email client moves the deleted emails to a folder named: Deleted Items. However, when I click on - Tools -Empty Deleted Items it doesn't delete the emails contained there on the server.
Many thanks for helping!

Anyone? Can't be I'm the only one with this issue!

Go to Mail Tab
Press on Inbox
Menu\Tools\Options
Press on an Account
Send&Receive Schedule\Advance Setting\
Choose "When deleting messages: Delete them off the server"
Maybe that will works

Hi,
i've that problem too. And my settings are correct. With XDA Orbit 2 and same settings it works as expected. With HD2 i must delete manuallly on server and HD-side.
Anymore ideas?

[Q] IMAP Emails Don't Delete To Trash Folder

Anyone else having this issue? Using the stock email program I've set up my business email accounts using IMAP. When I delete an email it does not get moved to the trash folder. It deletes the email from the inbox on the Xoom, but the email actually still remains on the server. My host is 1and1.com, but they shouldn't be the issue because it all works fine on my DroidX.
Thanks,
Steve

email app problems

Hey all, I am having trouble with the email app. I should add that I am using Thor rom. Cn i install the one that comes with ics? If so does anyone know a link to the apk?
Thanks

well my problem is that the stock email app won't send email if sync email is off. If I turn it on it deletes mail on the server. On my HTC Desire HD running LeeDrOiD, the app has an option not to delete mail on server.
Anyone know of any stock email app that I can use with honeycomb?
This is frustrating.
Thanks

ok if I set it to pop3 I only see my inbox. If I set it to imap then i see all my folders.
If set to pop3 i can check not to delete my mail from server. But don't see my folders but inbox and i can send mail.
If set to imap i see all folders but if i delete an email it deletes off server unless i uncheck sync which causes email not to send.
Anyone have any suggestions please?
