I know this thread is SUPER old but I had this problem where no rules were set in Outlook and all that but the user was getting emails she sent in both her sent items and Inbox. She is the supervisor of a group, a SERVER-SIDE rule had been set to BCC her on all mails sent from the group.She was a member of the group and therefore was getting a copy of her emails. I went to Exchange Transport rules, modified her rule adding the members individually as opposed to by group and voila' the issue is gone. I hope this might help someone.
How to create a rule in Outlook 2013, Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007 or earlier to CC all messages you send to.
Outlook for Office 365 Outlook 2019 Outlook 2016 Outlook 2013 Outlook 2010 Outlook 2007 In Microsoft Outlook, you can specify that for all messages that you send, an automatic carbon copy (Cc) is sent to other people or distribution lists. One scenario in which this rule is useful is when all members of a team are responsible for responding to incoming email messages, such as a support center. When one team member replies to a message, the rest of the team automatically receives a copy of the reply, keeping everyone informed of outgoing communications. You will first need to create a rule to automatically send a carbon copy (Cc) of all email messages that you send.

This particular rule is called a client-side rule. A client-side rule runs only on the computer on which it is created, and only runs if Outlook is running. If you were to send an email message by using your email account on a different computer, the rule would not run from that computer until it was created on that computer. You must create this same rule on each computer from which you intend to use it. Create the rule. In Mail, on the Home tab, in the Move group, click Rules Manage Rules & Alerts. The Rules and Alerts dialog box appears.
On the E-mail Rules tab, click New Rule. In the Rules Wizard, under Start from a blank rule, click Apply rule on messages I send. Click Next, and then click Next again.
A confirmation message will appear, notifying you that this rule will apply to every message that you send. Under Step 1: Select action(s), select the Cc the message to people or public group check box. Under Step 2: Edit the rule description (click an underlined value), click people or public group.
In the Rule Address dialog box, click a name or group, and then click To. Repeat this step until all names or groups that you want to add are included in the To box. In the Rules Wizard, click Next and then click Next again.
Under Step 1: Specify a name for this rule, enter a name that you will recognize for this rule. In Step 2: Set up rule options, select the Turn on this rule check box.
Click Finish. You will see a message stating that the rule will run only when you check your email in Outlook. Now every time that you send a message, whether it is a new message, a reply, or a message that you are forwarding, the people or groups that you specified in the rule will automatically be added as Cc recipients. You will not see the names of the people or groups on the Cc line as you compose the message, but any recipient of the message will see these names. Turn off the rule To avoid automatically sending a carbon copy, you must first turn off the rule. In Mail, on the Home tab, click Rules Manage Rules & Alerts.
