Some non-English-speaking immigrant working at Gmail chose this word. It should have been "own:" or "self:". The reason is that Google - as the only POP provider in the world - assumes that you don't want to receive mails that you have sent.

Yes, only Gmail is so user friendly that you have to scratch your head in disbelief. > I hate having things work without knowing why they work.
