Send email to myself with Gmail and Outlook

If you want to send email to yourself / myself with Gmail and Outlook, you may need to review your settings in Gmail.

I found that if you do not have all of your sending aliases under Accounts and Import that the Label on the email will be Sent Mail, not Inbox as desired.

Be sure that all of "Send email as" settings include all of the email addresses (aliases) that you will receive email with as well. When Gmail sends and receives the email that you sent to yourself... if the email address in question isn't listed in the "Send email as" settings, the email will only show up in the All Mail and Sent Mail.

But when you have the email address specified in "Send email as" (even if you don't make it your default), Gmail will change the label to be Inbox.

Hence, you can successfully send email to yourself / myself with Gmail and Outlook.
