Can anyone explain why, when I reply to an email, the reply (my reply) comes back to me in my inbox.
The title of the email has the person's name with 'me' written after it.

eg. 'Catherine, me'

Thus, when I open that email, it has my message to Catherine. ??????

My guess is that you have "Conversations" turned on. This is a view that allows you to see emails in and their replies all grouped together in a sort of "She said, I said, she said, I said...view. You are not actually receiving your won emails, just seeing them grouped with the emails athey are linked to. You can turn off conversations:...

Remove the 'me'?
Are you clicking on 'reply' or 'reply to all', Tilly?
Question Author
I am just clicking on reply, not reply to all, FF.
I'm assuming the 'me' is your own email address, Tilly
Have you selected "All Mail" or something similar as a view on your mailbox rather than just the Inbox, so it shows sent items as well?
Question Author
Yes, Sibs. It is my email address. I am getting emails from myself!
Then delete the 'me'
Question Author
I don't think so, Eve. It has
Inbox
Drafts
Sent
Spam
Trash

in a list down the side.
My understanding, Psybbo, is that there is no 'me' appearing as a recipient when she sends her email- it only appears when she receives a copy of her reply
Question Author
It won't delete, Sibs. It won't highlight. Shall I just delete the whole email?

I now have a string of email messages from Catherine and myself (my replies) in a list.
Question Author
That's correct, FF.
That said, my Gmail on my phone does that with a running email trail with my Mum.
Begin a new email with only Catherine as the recipient and sent a test one.
Tilly....just consider it preparation for the AB old folk's home.....☺
Maybe emails are being grouped together as "conversations". Do you see both yours and Catherine's comments?
Just looked at my yahoo...same as yours by the sound of it. Has been like that for a while.
Don't see it as a problem though....
Maybe Catherine has selected 'reply to all' at the start of the thread and this causes all recipients to get copies of their own replies.
Anyway, I agree with Psybbo's suggestion.
Question Author
I'll try that, Sibs. Thank you.
Question Author
That's what mine is like, Pasta. It has been like that for a while, as you say. It's only a problem because I think I have new emails but actually they are my emails, coming back to me.

Yes, I can see the whole string of the conversation that I've had with Catherine, or anyone else. Maybe I should count it as a blessing rather than a problem. :-)
I can imagine us all sitting in the day room texting each other as we'll all be deaf!
I'm wondering if you can change it in "settings".
