I have been doing some googling and found repeated complaints about mail to self not being downloaded via pop since gmail was released. The answer from gmail, repeated as recently as last month, is that gmail "doesn't do that". Apparently it is going to take an act of God to get it corrected, and yes, I do believe this is a significant problem.
If you have another place that will accept your smtp (like your ISP's mailer) you may be able to reconfigure to send that way so gmail won't hide the message from you. That loophole may go away if more mailers check the From: header on the way out, but many/most don't yet, so if you are allowed to relay because of your IP address or with authenticated SMTP, you can probably use the From: from a different account.
