Send Email to Self Using Outlook client through Gmail

G

-goss

Hi all,

I am trying to send email to myself to my (e-mail address removed) gmail
account (some kind of partner gmail account the Co. is leveraging
hence no gmail)

Anyway I read all of the instructions on a website how to confogure
the Outlook 2007 client, all works great.

Now I have an Excel Workbook and I want to add a button to each sheet
so the user can click a button and email me the active sheet

I used code example from Ron DeBruin link. http://www.rondebruin.nl/mail/folder1/mail2.htm

I updated the e-mail address in Ron's sample to my e-mail address and
tested the code
I can see the e-mail in the sent log, but it never arrives back in my
Outlook Inbox. I logged into the webportal and I do see the e-mail
sitting in that Inbox.

I then tried 2 other email addresses that are also configured to come
into my Outlook Inbox using the @mycorp as the sending email address:
(e-mail address removed) and (e-mail address removed). Both of these emails came to my
Outlook Inbox

Any ideas why the @mycorp email will not come into my Outlook Inbox?

Many thanks!

It's just how gmail works - mail your address sends to yourself is treated
differently, not as new mail.

Thanks Diane,

Any other thoughts as to workaround or I'll either have to use one of
the non-corp e-mail addresses to send from or change my (send from
this account by default).

Many thanks!

I don't know of any workarounds - it's a problem with google though, not
outlook, so check the gmail forums.

Is the account set up as POP or IMAP? For POP, by telling the gmail server
to allow POP for all messages, you may be able to get those "addressed to
self" messages. For IMAP, you should simply be able to see them from the
outset.
