I believe this is actually a gmail issue. That is, these messages are
not available via the IMAP interface. gmail collates messages in
conversations in the web view and sometimes those messages (sent
messages, in my experience) are not available in the IMAP inbox.

Hope that helps. There is not really a good solution to the
problem. The messages are available in your gmail archive.
