Why do my sent emails show up in inbox?

I have a gmail account that I use for my iphone email. Everything works fine, except...whenever I send someone an email, a few minutes later I hear the "email chime" and I think "oh good, they just wrote back." However, sitting in my inbox is a copy of the email I just sent to the person. Any ideas why this happens and how I can get this to stop?

I went in to my email settings and "Always Bcc Myself" is OFF.

Thanks!

I'm really sorry, but I'm not sure what a POP account is...I wanted to be able to use the email system built in to iphone so I created a new account online via gmail and then set up the account in my iphone using instructions from a book I bought (the iphone pocket guide).

More importantly, I cannot find the "recent" setting you mention within the email setting on iphone.

Thanks for being patient!
