1224377 2011-08-19 04:18:00 Setup a gmail account for a client that's popping mail from another account, then they in turn are popping the gmail account on multiple devices. Every time they send an email it comes back into their inbox as well as going to the recipient. I know that gmail is supposed to do this, but is there a way around it? I guess setting it up as an imap account on their PCs and phones would also work, but pop would be more ideal in this case if possible.

Any ideas? Thanks. :)

1224378 2011-08-19 04:25:00 when you say multiple devices, do you mean iphones, ipads, windows phone? ronyville (10611)
1224379 2011-08-19 04:31:00 At this stage two Windows desktops, a Windows notebook and an android phone. Notebook travels internationally. wratterus (105)
1224380 2011-08-19 04:34:00 iPhones/iPads mail settings have an option "Always Bcc Myself" that is turned on by default I think. I usually turn this off when I setup these phones. Not sure if the Android phone has a similar setting that you may have to play with? ronyville (10611)
1224381 2011-08-19 04:39:00 Yeah I checked that, not the case there though, good thought. wratterus (105)
1224382 2011-08-19 04:58:00 Bloody nuisance, this one. I created a filter to send mail from me to the Sent folder. Not perfect, but does the job normally. linw (53)
1224383 2011-08-19 05:07:00 I did attempt that, but it didn't seem to work, I must have done it wrong... would you be able to step through what you did?

Edit - was this a filter on gmail, or in your mail client?

1224384 2011-08-19 06:27:00 The filter was in my client, Thunderbird.

From is my address
Move to Send folder.

1224385 2011-08-19 09:51:00 I think this is because you are using the Gmail SMTP server for outgoing mail.
If you set it to your ISP's SMTP server, it doesn't happen.

Pain - Gmail is more universal (portable)
