You didn't read what I wrote:  I said that Gmail deletes messages from
  _received,_ i.e., incoming mail.  If it then puts them back if they are
replied to, that doesn't solve any problem, nor does it solve any
problem if they are saved in an "outgoing mail" folder.  What the
OP wants to know is if they _ever got received by the list_ even if
nobody replies to them, and as far as I understand it, Gmail does not
show those messages.  If I misunderstand, I apologise.
