I confirmed that the settings are the way they are supposed to be got one random message.
Just thought to check my spam filter, which I have hidden on my gmail. Hello my friends! How I've missed you! Odd that they started going to spam, odder still that some would get to my inbox. Sorry about that. If someone is using Gmail and having this problem, check out the spams.
EDIT: everything is coming in great now. Some IT guy I am, huh?
