I have a gmail account and have used it for a long time now. Today (June 06, 2006), I received an email from myself (which I had not sent). I am very surprised and actually a little concerned too. I am not sure if this is a security breach. What is even more surprising is that the email is in my "sent" folder too. I dont know how gmail puts emails in sent folders. It is very unlikely that my password may have been compromised. It is something else which I cannot explain.
The SMTP details are as follows...[I have replaced my email id in this transcript with my_email_id and display name with My_email_id (this is how the display name appeared).
