Hmm, not sure what's happening but anything I send is hidden from
me.
The only record of this message I will have will be in the "sent"
file. I am not receiving my own messages through the Fedora List,
everything else seems to get to me, just not anything from myself?
Google mail is doing some curious things.
Bob,
This is standard behavior on GMail. It does not download messages sent
from you to you using the same e-mail address.
If you want to test e-mails, it would have to be from a different e-mail
address that you can use, sent to your Gmail address.
You might also want to look at this:

BTW, if you should decide to use IMAP, you might also want to look at
this:

I use this approach, save one modification, to access GMail on my
laptop via TB and on my smartphone (Samsung Blackjack II). Thus, I can
access my e-mail while away from my desk, even when my laptop is still
logged in.
The exception is that I actually delete my e-mail (move it to Trash)
when deleting in TB, rather than simply marking it as deleted. I don't
have a need to utilize the All Mail process for archiving in GMail, as
important e-mails I move to non-IMAP folders on TB anyway.
HTH,
