I think this was just caused by Gmail now working when a message is sent and received at the same account. It just disappears. [0]

It’s really annoying, it’s not part of a spec, it’s just gmail.

I ran into this because I have some forwarders too and if I send an email from gmail that goes out, when my external mail server sends it back to gmail it never gets there. It’s not deleted, it’s not marked as spam, it just doesn’t exist and there’s no record.

I suspect if author had sent from another account it would work fine.
