I'm trying to test Gmail Schemas where the sender and the recipient are the same(mine) account following the Self Testing Notes
You can easily test if your markup is working correctly end-to-end by sending emails with schemas to your Gmail account. All emails where the sender and the recipient are the same account ignore the registration requirements and can be used for self-testing.
but without the expected result, the "Action" button is not displayed.
I have tried using both the JSON-LD and Microdata without results.
Here the "Show original" of the email from my Gmail Account:

And here how it appears from the list:
And inside the message:
I have also validated my code via the Markup Tester
Where is the error in my test? I can't figure out :(
UPDATE 20131113
Sending the email via Test Gmail Schemas, as suggested Devnook, all works fine, but using my Thunderbird client(using my account via SMTP) nope.
Here the source from the test via "Test Gmail Schema"

The "big" difference are that the headers of this email contains the DKIM-Signature and SPF but in theory emails where the sender and the recipient are the same account ignore the registration requirements
Here how it appear the "correct" email
I tested your email (sent it to myself using http://gmail-actions.appspot.com/) and I got the action appearing in my inbox. So your markup is fine... Are you sure you are not forwarding your email to another account?
Maybe try if other sample emails from gmail-actions.appspot.com work. If not, maybe you have some lab enabled in your inbox or a theme that is blocking the button to appear?
Also, this works only on a desktop afaik.
When I attempt to DKIM sign the message myself, checkmyauth@auth.returnpath.net returns:
and gmail omits the headers (and my email remains unsigned).
Yahoo says DKIM passed by the way.
This sucks, no way to programatically test gmail actions if self signed emails to self are considered spam.
