POP Gmail accounts in Tbird
But it's on the Gmail server that the phenomenon is happening. my
forwarded gmails never get sent to Tbird from Gmail because as far as
the server is concerned it is sending to itself and it decides that
makes no sense and doesn't bother.... or something...
Slightly different variant that someone just mentioned where Gmail
notices that he is sending to a listserve so when the list redistributes
the post back to the sender, it notices and doesn't show it in the inbox
thus denying the sender knowledge of if and when his post hit the list.

No I can't I can send it but I think what it does is it doesn't bother to
send it externally or whatever so my external non-web based client can't
poll for it and pick it up.
What the problem is exactly is if I pick up my email from my PDA client
email (SnapperMail) ... which is set to not delete any email that it picks
up (only takes a copy), my computer's TBird email doesn't get any of the
Gmail accts mail although it gets my other ATT.net's etc. mail.
AND if I try to forward it from my PDA's Gmail, to my computer's Gmail
it also never arrives on my computer's Thunderbird Mail. ( not sure of the
earlier issue but I think this forward failure is the "smart feature's"
non-doing)
I remember reading something about Gmail's smart feature .... somebody else
complaining about it ....and now it turns out to be a problem for me that I
would like to eliminate ... if I knew how.
Are you using POP or iMap for Thunderbird? I had a message I sent from
Thunderbird return to both versions of that account on Tbird.
Perhaps you need a second account that will forward your test messages back
to the main one.
