If you use an email client like Microsoft's Outlook or receive your email on your mobile device and you are not getting your emails that you send to yourself here are a couple of things to check.
If you have put your email address that you are receiving emails at in the email field of the template, your email service provider may flag it as spam as it would appear that way with you sending emails to yourself which did not originate with your email service provider.
Your email service provider may flag emails based upon a very strict filtering method, requiring you to "teach" it what you consider as not spam by marking email as "not spam." Emails marked as spam by many service providers never reach email clients or phones which do not have an IMAP1 connection to the email service provider. IMAP synchronizes all folders.
If you have a POP2 connection to your email client, you will not know if an email has landed in the spam, or junk mail folder unless you log into your email with your web browser. POP only retrieves the contents of the main email folder.
If you are not receiving your email in one of these scenarios, log into your email account directly and check your spam folder.
Your email service provider controls what it classifies as spam. The same email sent to ten different email service providers may have different outcomes. For some it will land in the spam folder and for others it will go directly to the inbox. BombBomb diligently works to insure that a high percent of emails land in the inbox.
