Whenever I send any messages from my Gmail account (smartphone, laptop or both), a copy of the sent message comes back into my inbox.
I have tried every possible setting related ti IMAP and POP, but nothing works.
How can I stop this from happening?

I had the same issue.
Scenario: I had a second email account linked to my Inbox account via IMAP. Whenever I sent an email from the IMAP'd address via Inbox, I got a copy of the sent email appearing in my inbox. Annoying.
For me, it was simply a Filter that I'd set up some time ago which was just "from @xyz.com, do not send to spam" to make sure no emails to my IMAP'd email address would ever go into spam.
I suspect Gmail must star/flag/highlight items it's been told NOT to send to spam, or maybe it's just a bug.
So the simple solution was to amend the filter to "from:@domain.com -myemail@domain.com"
