Incorrect sorting on self CC #1

Open nubirdz opened 4 years ago

nubirdz commented 4 years ago

When sending an email to someone and CC'ing yourself. The email that should come to the inbox gets sorted into the sent folder.

You are the first person to give feedback on my program! I am so excited! Thank you!

To clarify: suppose your email is nubirdz@example.com, and you have delegate access to oldpigeonz@example.com in Outlook. You're sending an email from oldpigeonz@example.com with a cc to nubirdz@example.com, but the email doesn't appear in the "Inbox" for nubirdz@example.com, it only appears in the "Sent" folder for oldpigeonz@example.com. Is that correct?

If so, is nubirdz@example.com the same as the email address (username) you use to sign in to Gmail? If not, then nubirdz@example.com is an "alias". According to this article--Messages sent to email alias or group don't appear in inbox--this is normal behavior for Gmail. Google says you can change this behavior by changing your alias to an alternate "Send Mail As" address.

HAHA, that is amazing that you are excited. As I fellow developer, I know the feeling!

Just so you know, I do know that the behaviour I am encountering is because of the Add-on as I turned off the add-on to test before sending in the issue and got the result that I was expecting.

So to clarify what is happening,

Primary Email: nubirdz@example.com Delegated Email: oldpigeonz@example.com

Sending From: oldpigeonz@example.com Sending to: Joe@example.com CC: oldpigeonz@example.com

When it is set up this way with the add-on enabled, I receive no new messages in the inbox of oldpigeonz@example.com but I get 2 emails in oldpigeonz@example.com's sent folder.

With the add-on disabled, nubirdz@example.com's sent folder gets the sent message and oldpigeonz@example.com receives the message in the inbox.

These are full delegate mail boxes that are "sending as" (Not sending on behalf of)

Joe@example.com receives the message either way of course.

Thank you for the help.

Just checking in to see if you were able to determine the issue and if you have an eta for a bugfix.

Thanks!

Sorry, I won't be able to put any time into this project for a few weeks.

The problem is present even if you put your address in To: and not only in CC:
