If I send a gmail email using a browser (Safari), and then check my gmail acct using Mail, the msg I SENT gets received in my inbox. It's as if I cc'd it to myself, but it doesn't show up in my inbox on gmail through the browser. Any ideas what's going on?

I've started to notice this as well, I don't think this has always been the case...but I've noticed it over the past few weeks every time.

I've always had that happen since Gmail started allowing POP access. I think its because with gmail every piece of email is just an email, and sent/inbox/deleted (and this is my assumption) is just a search..... so when you hit sent, its labeled as Sent on Gmail's side, so it shows up as Sent and nothing else.

But with Mail, it sees the sent from gmail email as just another email. I ended up making a rule that said if the email is from me, put it in "sent".
