2 messages keep appearing in my Drafts folder

Over the past few weeks, Mail keeps adding 2 draft messages to my Drafts folder. They are both messages that I had one time saved as drafts but have long since finished and sent. If I delete them, they come back within a day. If I rebuild the mailbox, it makes no difference.
Any ideas?

While you are composing a messages Mail saves a version of the message in Drafts. It's supposed to remove from Drafts after sending but often it does not. You can set Drafts to be stored in the "On My Mac" Drafts folder to get rid of the problem, but you loose the ability to store the message in Drafts for access on another computer.
You might want to consider running the combo updater over your install to refresh your files. This can often fix odd issues like this.
OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.5 (Combo) 831.81 MB

You need to report it to Apple Feedback so it can be logged and put in the queue to be fixed.

Sent messages only appear in the sent folder after restarting Thunderbird

Hi, my problem is that sent messages do not appear in the sent folder unless I restart Thunderbird. I have the sent 'copies' box de-checked as if not although it syncs I end up with two copies (of sent messages).
I am using Thunderbird 31.2.0 on OSX Yosemite connecting via IMAP to ZOHO mail with STARTTLS on 587 for SMTP.
Hope you can advise, I've tried SSL/TLS on 465 also and it is the same. It's a bit of an inconvenience not being able to view the sent messages.
Many thanks

Interesting to know (the RFC violation) but as you say, perhaps not relevant as such, although if ZOHO wasn't auto-placing a copy in sent then I could check the 'place a copy in' option and it would work ok.
Anyhow, I tried your recommendations and yes, I use both an Android and an iPad to also check my mail but with both disconnected from Wi-Fi the problem still persists. There are a few warnings being reported in the TB error console on the Mac but they just relate to 'mso-table-lspace' for my INBOX.
And for info in Thunderbird on my Ubuntu laptop the problem is exactly the same -
'Place a copy' checked - Messages instantly appear in the sent folder but there are two copies.
'Place a copy' de-checked/Cached connections = 5 - Messages only appear in the sent folder after restarting Thunderbird
'Place a copy' de-checked/Cached connections = 1 - Messages appear in the sent folder on clicking out of the folder and back in.
On Ubuntu there is nothing at all in the error console.
I can work with how things are at this stage as I don't live in the sent folder (rather the inbox), and when you click into it (with the connections cache at 1) the messages do appear, so I suppose that's actually ok.

Enternal server error 500, message keeps appearing on home page bar where we use to have Fox news.

What can I do, a message keeps appearing saying enternal server error 500, on the home page on top bar. That was where we had the tab for Foxnews. But this problem is intermittent. Sometimes Fox news comes up where we use to get it.

The 500 Internal Server Error is a very general HTTP status code that means something has gone wrong on the web site's server but the server could not be more specific on what the exact problem is.
Below are few troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue:
1. Reload the web page. You can do that by clicking the refresh/reload button, pressing F5, or trying the URL again from the address bar.
2. Clear your browser's cache.
3. Delete your browser's cookies.

Why does email appear in the draft folder after email is sent

could someone tell me why emails I am sending appear in the draft folder even after the email has been sent and is in the sent folder?

Do you get draft emails every time your write an email, or do you just have a pesky email in drafts? There's a big difference.
If it happens every time, it could be that your email isn't being sent to your recipient. If it happened only once, it's just an incomplete email you haven't sent or deleted yet.
Which is your situation?

Mail blocked on imac. Same message keeps appearing multiple times in the Recovered Messages folder but no new email gets through. Fine on ipad. Any help appreciated....

Haven't received any new emails on imac since 4 Sept (all received fine on ipad) and online gmail account. We sent an oversized message on that date and it keeps appearing continually (literally hundreds of times) in the Recovered Messages folder. I'm assuming this is causing some sort of blockage?? Seem to be able to send mail OK, just not receive (apart from new versions of the 4th September message). Any help gratefully received. Thanks

Hi,
Since Outlook running on Windows works well, it seems an issue on the Mac side. I suggest ask Mac for help so that you can get more professional suggestions.
More information for your reference:
Please try to verify whether there is any expired certificate from the computer personal store.
If it is the case, please remove them.
Thanks

Deleted mail keeps reloading in my Drafts folder.

Since upgrading to Mavericks, my email keeps putting old deleted messages (usually the same 5 messages) in my Drafts folder. I delete them there, but they just keep coming back. Anyone know how to fix this?
I am running Mavericks on my MacBook Pro with Mail 7.3.

Deleted mail can reappear if the folder has not been compacted frequently.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_:_Tips_:_Compacting_Folders
'' If you don't compact your folders regularly, performance can slow to a crawl, you can't store new messages anymore, start losing parts of messages or have deleted messages resurrected.''
Suggest you move all good emails out of Inbox to other suitable folders for organising.
Then delete all emails you do not want.
then right click on Inbox and select 'compact'.
Then empty the Deleted folder.
Also Empty and compact the Junk folder.

Exchange 2013 SP1 server working for several months now messages are getting stuck in drafts folder

This a small, simple environment. There is a MS Server 2012 R2 server hypervisor with a MS Server 2012 R2 VM running Exchange 2013 patched to SP1. This server has been deployed into production and passing mail without issues for several months.
Upon initial deployment, we experienced the issue that many have reported and that has been widely documented where Mail Flow works fine inbound, but outbound will stick in the drafts folder. We resolved the issue by manually configuring the IP Address of
our internal DNS server (which is an installed role on our hypervisior / base layer server). The issue was immediately resolved and mail was flowing in both directions without issue. We later installed SP1 and there was no issue. Mail has
been flowing normally all the while.
Now fast-forward through several weeks of reliable mail delivery... We experienced a power loss and a system shutdown and upon reboot, inbound is working and outbound goes to drafts. I've confirmed DNS Lookup settings in ECP still points to our internal
server as previously configured. Both servers have internet access, NSLOOKUP returns expected values, and DNS appears to be working normally.
I'm not sure if we had an MS Update that installed with the reboot that caused the breakage, if there was a lingering settings change that took effect on reboot, or what is causing the interruption. I'm looking for some fresh ideas on where to look
for answers, and all the information available on the drafts folder issue points to DNS settings that have already been put in place.
Any constructive ideas are welcome! Thanks in advance.
David

Amit,
Long story short, I'm not sure how or why, but there were a few automatic services that were not starting "automatically." I'm used to seeing some services that are triggered by the application to start and stop on their own, so I didn't necessarily
panic when there were a few automatic services that were stopped..
However, The MS Exchange Health Manager, and the Mailbox Submission services weren't running. After manually starting the services my drafts folder emptied and we are back in business.. Maybe not "innovative" as you said, but it certainly put us on
the right track. We were looking so hard at DNS because of all the reported cases of "stuck in drafts" being related to DNS, we totally overlooked the obvious, so THANKS!
Now the only question is, what stopped the services and why did they not restart automatically??

All my sent messages showing up im my drafts folder

I have 2 IMAP accounts set up in Mail. They all work fine, except that every email that I type (sent or not sent) shows up in my Drafts folder for that account. I have to go in once a week and delete 100+ drafts. It has made it very hard to actually use the drafts folder.
Mailbox Behavior for Drafts is set to "Store draft messages on the server" and for Sent is set to "Store draft messages on the server", Delete "Never"

Same issue. You get each draft with more and more words from the email as it seems to save every couple of words. Instead of saving just one file, it saves a new one for each draft autosave. Also, they stay there when you've sent the email itself.
It is only with IMAP. I've never had problems with Apple Mail, but there seems to be numerous problems with it and IMAP accounts - as seen on this forum. They are serious as we use email as a major mode of communication.
There is actually not one properly solved discussion about IMAP and Apple Mail in this forum. Does anyone know how we go about getting some 'official' assistance regarding the general IMAP woes of Apple Mail. Is there somewhere I can bullet point the outstanding bugs and common problems?

New Message Saved Multiple Times In Drafts Folder

I know that while I'm composing an email the program automatically saves a copy of that message to the drafts folder. This copy is updated while I'm composing the message. But recently, as I'm composing a message, the same composition is saved multiple times in the Drafts folder. So, if it took me 10 or 15 minutes to compose an email I'll have at least 4 or 5 separate copies of the email in different stages saved to my Drafts folder. When I send the email it will save a copy in my Sent folder, but won't remove the same email from my Drafts folder.
Has anyone else had a problem like that? Have suggestons on what's going on and how to fix it?
Thanks...

What type of account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)? If IMAP or .Mac, what are your settings in Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors for Drafts and Sent?

Error message keeps appearing when opening iTunes

I keep trying to open iTunes and the error message -45075 keeps appearing. I have just reinstalled the programme like I was prompted to and it is now coming up with this new error code. What does this mean and what do I do to fix it?

Just in case the component being referenced is not part of iTunes but is rather part of one of the other related programs, it might be worth trying a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related componentry, as per the following troubleshooting document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
