Can't Save Drafts

Apple Mail won't save anything at all. I can't save drafts in the IMAP accounts, only the pop accounts. Sent messages disappear from the computer. I have toggled on and off and saved the "keep on server" option. It says "Error: The message could not be saved," giving me no information beyond that.

Hi giantrats, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Do you have a Drafts folder inside of your IMAP folder? And a Sent folder?
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't help & you can afford to redo any Mail Rules...
Trash these files...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/... MessageRules.plist and MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/... MessageRules.plist and MessageRules.plist.backup

IMAP - can't save drafts, can't see sent messages

Hi
I set up two email accounts as IMAP when we moved to a new server - they used to be POP3 accounts. Now I can't save any emails from either of those addresses and there's no record of sent mails either.
I've been to both sent and draft mailboxes and clicked on 'use this mailbox for' but all options are greyed out so I can't select anything.
Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions please?
Thanks for any help
Caroline

Oh dear.
The addresses now save in drafts but in sent. However, more pressing is that the process has knocked out all my saved emails, folders, junk folder. There are now folders that I was using in 2007. Presumably the process has erroneously restored a profile from c 2 years ago. A similar problem happened with MeMobile - my phone data was wiped and replaced with email and contact book (which isn't affected this time) from c2 years ago. MobileMe were not able to establish either the problem nor solution and so I abandoned MobileMe. However, at a guess, this is due to the same problem.
So, it didn't solve the problem and now I have another one. Any ideas please?

Can't save drafts, doesn't save sent mail thru imap account

I learned what an imap account was when I signed up for my .Mac account. I like the idea of sent mail being saved on the server and shared to all my computers. It saves duplication of effort between the two of us working here. So, I've recently had my web guy switch my old POP account to an imap account. But there's problems.
Whenever I begin composing an email to be sent through my new imap account, I get a message that says, "This email cannot be saved." I can compose and send the email through that account, I just can't save it to my draft folder. When I hit the "Save as Draft" button, it seems to try to save. The "Save as Draft" button goes gray for a couple of seconds but, afterward, I can't find any trace of a saved draft. There's not even a Draft "mailbox" or subfolder under the main "Drafts" heading. Also, once the letter is sent, it doesn't show up in a sent mail folder, I suppose because, again, there isn't a sent mail subfolder for that account.
My web guy showed me how in his Thunderbird mail preferences he's asked to choose a folder in which his drafts and sent mail will be saved. I can't find a question like that in the Mac Mail preferences. Even if I were asked where I want the mails to be saved, those folders would have to be on the imap server for the contents to be shared between computers, right?
Two side notes, there is an inbox for this imap account, just no "Sent" or "Draft" folders and second, I'm on OS X 10.4.10, Mac Mail Version 2.1 (752/752.2).
Anyway, does anyone have any idea what's going on and how it can be fixed?
TIA,
Peter

Yes! Brilliant! When I followed the first half of your instruction (this account requires INBOX to be typed in Preferences, etc.) the imap server did indeed create the draft folder and when I sent the email it created a sent mail folder. Just what I wanted! Thank you. I'm so grateful!
OK, now a couple more questions based on things that seem to have started happening as a result of following the first instruction.
Now, instead of not saving drafts, it's saving two, three or four. Just as an experiment, I tried writing a letter to be sent through Mac.com. As I wrote the letter a draft appeared in the proper draft folder. When I changed the subject or added a recipient, that draft was amended to reflect my changes. In the new imap draft folder a new draft was added each time I made a change. They all went away once I sent the message so I see that as a small problem.
Second, since I saw the draft and sent mail folders appear, the inbox for that account is acting oddly. The little whirling icon that appears when incoming messages are being checked shows up as expected next to each box (subfolder). In the case of the account where the changes were made, the whirling icon freezes and does not display the number of new messages until I actually click on that subfolder. One other little issue that might be related; mail that appears in the new imap inbox doesn't always appear in the overall inbox (atop all the subfolder inboxes). If I click on that inbox subfolder, the mail will appear.
Third question/comment, the second half of your email suggested that if I succeeded in getting email to "save messages on the server, but maybe in a mailbox different from where you want them to be. To fix that, select the desired folder in Mail and choose the appropriate option from Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For. " Although it seems to be saving in the right folders I looked at the "Use this mailbox for" command and the choices are grayed out no matter which mailbox I choose, whether it's a subfolder mailbox, a main mailbox or a mailbox folder I've created. I don't care but I'm curious. Is that odd?
Thanks so much for your help so far! This is just great!!!

Can't save my emails as a draft on msn hotmail

When I go to my msn hotmail via Firefox, I find that I can't save drafts of any of my emails. I don't have that problem when I'm on msn hotmail via IE. I need an easy-to-understand reply, as I'm not a techie.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== 22nd July 2010. Worked OK up until then.

Hmm, changing the mode to 8 bit with RGB really should do the trick. I would recommend you save your document as a PSD file, close Photoshop and then reopen your file. That might work.
If not, you can always try exporting your image to JPEG using the “Save for Web” option from the File menu. (It was called “Save for Web & Devices” in CS5 and earlier)
Just make sure to select the “JPEG High” option from the Preset menu:

How can you save a draft SMS on X3-02 ?
Can't seem to find an option to do this ... Lost message typed half way when I got out of the editor to check the calendar.
Am I missing something or has Nokians obsoleted this function on the latest S40 platform ?

Hi all,
Like sudude here pointed out that's one way of leaving text as "draft" to message editor. Or you can also select Options > More > Exit editor to do the same. And, next time when you select Create message that previous text should be there as it was left.
But there is also another option to start writing SMS's - with Notes application. Select Menu > Apps > Notes. Write a note and save it. Then for that note select Options > Send note > Send as message. Now your note is copied to message editor and you can send it or further edit and then send. Neat thing here is that when you use Notes application, text can be saved for later editing or use.

Hi,
You would be able to save a sales order as draft only while the add button is active that is you haven't added the sales order. Once you have added a sales order in the system, the save as draft button would be disabled. However, as you say that you have duplicated the sales order, before adding, you should be abe to save tat order as draft. if this is not the case, i think you need to raise a ticket to sap. Try searchin for SAP Notes on the same.
Thanks,
Joseph

What can I do to fix Mail software, which does not allow me to move messages around, save "drafts", receive or send messages?

My "Mail" software looks to have become corrupted, as I can't move messages around, save "drafts", receive or send messages. The problem occurred after my Mac crashed and was re-started. Any ideas on what can I do to fix this? Any good suggestions appreciated!

The Mail program is probably not what is corrupted. That would be extremely difficult because it is not written back to disk. The problem is likely in your user data.
You could check that by logging into a different account (make one if you don't) and set up Mail in that account. If it works fine in that account then you have a problem in your user data.
To reinstall Mail, you'll have to get out your Snow Leopard install DVD and check if it is part of the Optional Installs. If it is not, you could use a program called Pacifist to extract the Mail installer. You'd then have to install the 10.6.7 combo Update to bring Mail up to current version.
What are the permissions on your Mail folder? Post output of this command you run in Terminal (just copy and paste):
ls -ale ~/Library/Mail
ls is List. -a tells it to show hidden files/folder. l tells it to make a list with details. e tells it to list Access Control List entries.

Can't send e-mails, only save drafts - Blackberry 8520

Somehow, I can't send e-mails regulary anymore. The only way to do this is by goinb to my address book, select a contact and click the send e-mail option. However, if I start composing an e-mail without doing this, the only option I get it "save draft", meaning there is no "send" option anymore. I didn't make any changes on my phone settings or anything, this just happened somehow. I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance for your response.

Have you done these steps exactly as documented above, and in the order above? The order you've laid out is not the same. Plus, I cannot tell, from what you say, what the results of each step were. Did you receive the proper registration message after doing the HRT? Did you receive further messages when you resent the service books? Do you have a full and proper data plan on your BB from your carrier? Are you shifting from a prior carrier? If so, has the prior carrier properly released your BB from their system?
Good luck and let us know!

Can't save any mail as a draft

I tried to make a draft and safe it in mail and it said error, can't save as a draft.
Any suggestions?

First you should copy and paste the contents of the e-mail somewhere else, then try completely quitting out of mail and turning off the computer. Then turn it back on and open mail.
Mail should save messages you are working on but have not sent to drafts automatically.

Can't save location for Trash at Server Settings (IMAP setting).

Hi,
I'd like to set a folder (one under an account name) to move messages to when deleting messages with IMAP.
I can't select Trash under an account name at Server Settings. I can only select Trash under "Inbox" under the account name.
I find that the folder settting was not saved at all. Folders settings for sent messages and drafts are OK.
How can I save a folder setting (one under an account name) for deleted messages ?
I guess this situation results to 2 Trashes (one under the account name and oner under "Inbox" under the account name). In fact, I have a trouble deleting Trash under "Inbox" under the account name.
Thanks in advance for any advices or clues for the solution or workaround.

(addition to the question)
To be exact, folder selection pull-down menu doesn't start with the account name, rather, start with "Inbox", therefore, I can only choose Trash under "Inbox".

Cannot save drafts in Messenger Express

I have several users who cannot save drafts when using the iPlanet Messenger Express web client. I have checked their ldif exports against users that are working fine on the same installation and can't find any difference. Any ideas?
imsimta version shows the following
iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 Patch 2 (built Jul 14 2004)
libimta.so 5.2 Patch 2 (built 19:30:12, Jul 14 2004)
SunOS messaging 5.8 Generic_108528-16 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R

Check what browser they're using, and what OS they're using, too. Think you'll find the difference.. .
Then open a tech support case to get hotfix 2.04 (due out Monday)

Hide Save Draft Button in the first step

Hi All,
I have requirement to remove Save Draft in the first step of HCM P&F. But I can not find how to hide or remove save draft in the first step.
Please kindly guide.
Best Regards,
Visut

We had the same issue on my most recent project. From the INITIAL step....ie. start the process....you can not (at this time) hide/disable that feature/button. As said above, it CAN be done in steps after that simply by setting the workflow binding on the parameter. Not sure how/why SAP missed the need for this. I would think it would be a "checkbox" of sort in your "Process Start" configuration in the Design Time....but nope.
In our case, we wanted to allow it for manager initiated processes, but not for employee initiated ones. Therefore, we set up a "check" on the workflow task that creates the "draft" work item to "trash" the ones from ESS and properly handle the ones coming from MSS. It was....interesting. haha We also changed the default "save as draft" message that shows so the users would know what had happened (ie. not supported in ESS).
Hopefully this becomes a config setting in coming EhPs.

Hi,
Create a attribute in context type boolean, and bind that attribute based on ur button visible property .
inside init method
follow my coding logics.
access attribte (e.g: le_attribute)
le_attribte->set_attribte( exporting name = 'ATTRIBUTE_NAME' value = abap_true ).
above mentioned logic is for visible.
in which action you want to invisible as same you can write
le_attribte->set_attribte( exporting name = 'ATTRIBUTE_NAME' value = abap_false ).
above mentioned code is invisible.
