Hi colleagues,

Every time I send an e-mail I keep a copy to me in order to have a record of quotes, answers and declination about my job. Almost immediately, I used to see the incoming mesage in my inbox.

But the system is not sending it anymore to me. Curiously, when I send it to third parties, they get the message!

I've reviewed and I have NO filters.

Thank you very much.

Disculpa la tardanza May 12, 2007

Mmmmm....web-based systems. I used to use Yahoo, so I went back and checked all over the place (it turns out that my account still existed), and then I asked a couple of friends who had Yahoo if they could send messages to themselves and they said it didn't come back. I know this is not very useful, but at least it confirms that you're not alone in this. Unfortunately, since it's web-based, I don't think there's anything you can do apart from sending an e-mail to the people at Yahoo or maybe ... See more

Good option May 12, 2007

Yes, its a little bit weird procedure but there's no other choice.

Thank you, carnal Marcelo. You are very kind.
