Forgot to test to see if this filter worked even though i sent emails from my pc….Well have just sent an email from my pc, and have checked the phone and it has not sent a copy to the phone.

This i would call a success…yee ha

Well, almost worked perfect, i tested it some more today.

I won’t get the copy if I reply from my iPhone, or even if I send a new message. But I will get a copy if I reply to the email via my computer in the gmail web interface. As soon as I hit send from my regular computer, a sent copy appears in my iPhone’s inbox.

So I would say this is an 80% fix. Any replying done outside of the iPhone seems to send a copy of the message to the iPhone’s inbox.

Brilliant, worked perfect for me. Though not at first. I tried leaving the Gmail account I initially set up on my iPhone and tested with that, and under the account set up as outlined in this article and still got sent mail copies under both accounts.

I then deleted both accounts from my iPhone and tried setting it up as you stated (and as the only Gmail account on my phone) and it worked perfect! Thanks for a solution to an aggravating POP bug in gmail.

Note: I also have a filter set up in Gmail to archive anything “sent” by my address.
