Sorry for the tests

Hi Stefano and the rest of you,
I apologize for the numerous tests. Rest assured I'm not using the list 
just for fun, though I'm honored that you named the product after me. : )

I'm interested in helping to work on James and have been 'lurking' and 
reading for a couple of weeks. I've downloaded the 2.3.1 branch into 
Eclipse and was starting to get to the point where I wanted to start 
asking a few simple questions.  The 'test' messages that you are seeing 
are my attempts to see my own messages appear on the list.

Here is my scenario:
I have a gmail account that is subscribed to the list, then I use 
Mozilla Thunderbird to get the mail, and a filter to route messages into 
a folder. It seems that I can get other people's message, but when I 
send a message I don't get it back. It appears on the archive, but 
doesn't  come back to me.  Another member on the list mentioned that 
this might be the default behavior of the list server.  I never use the 
gMail web site, but I did tonight and they are there. So it looks like 
its a Thunderbird issue.

Again, I apologize for being a bother right off the bat.

Thanks,
James

Please use server-users@james.a.o list until questions are from a user 
of James and use this list when you will have developers questions.
I'm moving this question to the users list, please join the users list.

I think this is a "POP3 over Gmail" feature. Gmail decides to only show 
you via POP3 messages in your main folder and not being from you. This 
has nothing to do with Thunderbird or this list, instead ask Gmail if 
you want further details.
