Whenever I send a message to myself and then click Get Mail, mail doesn't show it even though it's in my gmail inbox if I check it through gmail's site. Yet if I send a mail from another account it does fetch it. So, is there something wrong with my mail app or is does it just not grab messages that you sent yourself?
Got a tip for us?

You should be getting those messages. Is it being diverted to the Junk folder, or have you got a rule set up sending it somewhere else entirely? Are all other emails coming in properly? 
No rules or anything and when i check through safari the message is in my inbox, not junk mail.. any ideas on what may be wrong?mad jew said:You should be getting those messages.

EDIT: When I sent a mail from my old hotmail account it did fetch it. I just tried to set up a rule to put mails from my address to the inbox and it doesn't get them anyway.
I meant the Junk section of Mail, not GMail. Sorry if I was unclear.
I'm not sure how this is happening and the only attempt at a fix that I can think of would be to remove the Mail preferences but they're annoying to reconfigure so hopefully someone will come up with a better attempt soon.

Interesting. I don't use GMail so I didn't realise that. Thanks for the info semaja2.
I wonder why it's set up that way.

I tried deleting the preferences but the problem persists.
Thanks for your time anyways EDIT: Oh, thanks for the info semaja.
