(regarding this aspect) Gmail started acting differently yesterday.



>>> Resolution. To prevent clutter, Gmail doesn't
deliver messages that you send to your own alias (or to a Group you
belong to) to your inbox. You can find the message in Sent Mail or All
Mail. To get these messages in your inbox, set up the alias or Group as
an alternate "Send mail as" address for your account.

gmail doesn't really have folders, just tags, which it uses to simulate
folders.
