Have Gmail only filter messages not sent directly to me
This was surprisingly hard to figure out. Maybe this will help somebody.

1. Go to Settings and under Inbox choose to override filters for important messages
2. Create a filter from:me to:me and choose "Always mark as important"

This will make sure messages sent directly to you end up in your inbox, even if you have another filter that would normally archive it.
