I am using Google Apps to host my own domain, and uses IMAP to fetch the mail to OS X Mail program.
It is working well in every aspect except one. I can not send emails to myself with OS X Mail. They never return. I'm not getting anything bounced or any error messages.
- Sending to any other email address works.
- Sending from my phone works.
- Sending from my Windows computer works.
- Sending to myself from another (identically configured, also hosted through google apps) email account within OS X Mail works.
I'm scratching my head, I can't figure out how to troubleshoot this.
I am often sending mail to myself as a way to take notes, but also to put files onto the IMAP-server.
The servers I'm using are imap.gmail.com
and smtp.gmail.com
port 993 SSL.
Any help is appreciated.
You are right, that is part of the problem. I found out that I logged in to my SMTP-server with the other accounts user name (OS X Mail stores the SMTP-server with it's credentials and reuses them if another account selects that server). Changing the SMTP-login fixed it. However, now my emails to the other email address it automatically sent to that email address "sent mail"-box. Funny! However, I don't mind that. – Mattis – 2011-10-06T11:08:04.910
