Re: copies of sent messages.


 

Donald,

Outlook allows you to email yourself.
That's not the same thing.

What makes your own messages returning from an email list different is that they were delivered to your email service by some other service (Groups.io in this case). So your email service (or your email client interface) may interpret that situation as fraudulent (that email address belongs to this service, not that other service.

So it comes down to the email provider. I believe Gmail has a setting
that can be toggled on/off for messages you send out that you also
receive back from a list.
Not that I know of.

Groups.io however does have an option in your Account Preferences which defeats Gmail's detection of an inbound message as "matching" one you just sent, so that Gmail won't hide the returned copy. That's the "I always want copies of my own messages" checkbox.

I don't know if that applies outside of the web interface for Gmail,
though, like when you receive messages from Gmail by POP or IMAP.
It does. When Gmail "hides" a message (from you) that is returned from an email list it does not put that copy into your Inbox, so neither POP nor IMAP will retrieve it (actually IMAP /can/ retrieve it, Gmail hides the returned message in the Sent folder).
