Why am i getting emails from myself

The mysterious case of the self-sent emails!

There are several reasons why you might be receiving emails from yourself. Here are some possible explanations:

  1. Auto-responders or email filters: You might have set up an auto-responder or email filter that sends a copy of an email to your own email address. This could be a feature in your email client or a third-party tool you're using.
  2. CC or BCC mistakes: You might have accidentally added your own email address to the CC (carbon copy) or BCC (blind carbon copy) field when sending an email to someone else. This would send a copy of the email to your own inbox.
  3. Email forwarding: You might have set up email forwarding rules that forward emails from one account to another, including your own account. This could be a feature in your email client or a third-party service.
  4. Email client or app issues: There might be a bug or glitch in your email client or app that's causing emails to be sent to your own account. This could be due to a software update, a configuration issue, or a problem with your email account.
  5. Spam or phishing attempts: Unfortunately, it's possible that someone is trying to send you spam or phishing emails that are being sent to your own account. This could be a result of a compromised account or a targeted attack.
  6. Email account synchronization: If you have multiple email accounts or devices connected to the same account, it's possible that emails are being synced across accounts, causing you to receive emails from yourself.
  7. Email client or plugin issues: Certain email clients or plugins might be causing issues with email sending or receiving, leading to emails being sent to your own account.

To resolve the issue, you can try the following:

  1. Check your email client or app settings to see if there are any auto-responders or email filters set up that might be causing the issue.
  2. Review your email sending and receiving habits to see if you've accidentally added your own email address to the CC or BCC field.
  3. Check your email forwarding rules to ensure that you're not forwarding emails to your own account.
  4. Try restarting your email client or app to see if it resolves the issue.
  5. Contact your email provider's support team to see if there are any issues with your account or if they can help you troubleshoot the problem.
  6. Consider using a different email client or app to see if the issue persists.
