Why do I get emails from my own email address?
I would have thought that all email addresses are unique. By the way, it is a Yahoo address.

All addresses ARE unique.
Sounds like you've been "spoofed".
Spoofing is the "forgery" of an address, to hide the identity of the sender, and is usually done by an Automatic Spamming system, that blindly and randomly, runs through addresses in sequence.
It's not actually coming from or thru your account. (see in your sent folder)
One type that's called "Self Spamming"--(go figure)--appears to be coming "from" and going "to" the same address.
Anti-spam experts say----There's nothing you can do, except delete them (unopened of course). They are a nuisance, but harmless and don't last long.
If you spam them--you'd only be spamming your own address.
