Question GMail Question

Hello, I used the great tutorial at http://www.everythingq.com/kb/how-to...-a-motorola-q/

Everything works perfectly on my Q, Except one problem.

Forgive me if i don't articulate it very well. Here's the problem: When i send an email from GMail from my computer it sends that email to the person i sent it to, as well as the exact same email to my Inbox on my Q. It appears in my inbox as if someone had sent it to me!
It drives me crazy because i don't want to have to sift through the inbox to see what emails i've sent and which are the real ones. So yeah the return adress of the email is my GMail!?!? GRRR! Hopefully some of you can understand my problem..

Thanks in advance for any help!

Go to your Gmail account and check the settings under "Fowarding and POP."

Thank you for your reply,

I have "Enable POP only for mail that arrives from now on" checked off in Gmail. Is this what you're talking about?
Thanks!

This happens to me as well.

I believe it has to do with the fact that GMail doesn't really have seperate IN and OUT storage, but rather attaches a "flag" to an email indicating that it's either a sent or received item.. I guess handling the email in such a manner facilitates the "conversation" view of Gmail that we all love so much.

Don't quote me on it, but that's my understanding of it.

Hmm so there's no way to fix this i guess.
Well thanks for all your help guys! If i find out anything else, i'll post it here.
Thanks,

Well apparently *everyone* has this problem. According to some, it has to do with the fact that GMail keeps your conversations recorded, so when you see a message from someone, you also see the message you sent them. GMail thinks it's smart so you get a copy of it on your Q! Pretty obnoxious, and i'd love to hear of a solution!
