Draft Folder Not Saving Emails

I have a mobile Me account and I have my email syncing up to 3 computers. Ever since I got the 10.6 (the others are 10.5) if I make changes to an email in Mail, save it to the Draft folder, the email disappears within a day. I can still make changes to a draft email on the 10.5 systems and those seem to stick around. It is very annoying. What I often do, when I remember, is after saving the new emails, I minimize them into the dock and then when they disappear, I am able to resave them by opening up the minimized versions.

Drafts in gmail saved in Drafts Folder of another email account's

My gmail account's setting in TB is 'Keep message drafts in > Other, Other >[My Gmail address] > [Gmail] > Drafts'. But when I saved a draft of my gmail's account, it was saved in another email account's Drafts Folder. I have two email accounts in TB, one is gmail and the other is not. This happened on Win7 Desktop.Thanks very much!

In your Notes app, do you see Accounts at the top left? If so, click on it, then click on All Notes.

Draft Messages Not Saving Attachments

If I save a message with more than one attachment as a draft, when I go to reopen it, it will only have one attachment.
Oddly, it will show all the attachments in the preview pane, but when I actually open the message to finish and send it, only the first attachment is still there.
I'm using a POP account in Mail 2.1 on an iBook G4 running Tiger.
I've tried:
- trashing the Drafts folder in the user library.
- running all MacJanitor maintanence tasks
- repairing permissions
Nothing seems to have worked. Any suggestions?

Add-on to previous mail
Just to add the full data from my testing. I've tried to test the different permutations of using the Attach functionality vs using drag-and-drop, of adding text or not in the email, and of adding 1 or more attachments.
I'm getting the following results
Attach - 1 file - No text = No issue
Attach - 2 files - No text = 2nd file disappears
Attach - 1 file - With text = text and file both disappear
Attach - 2 files - With text = text and 2nd file disappear
Repeating these 4 scenarios using drag-and-drop instead of Attach, no problems occur.
I'm using Mail 2.1.1 under OSX 10.4.9
Any similar experiences, or even better, help on fixing this, would be really welcomed!

Mail - imap drafts folder not updating on server

I have my mail setup to LEAVE any mail draft in the drafts folder on the server. I used 3 different mac book pros and my draft messages are only appearing on the system where I 'drafted' them. In the past this was working.
All other foldrers are behaving as I would expect. How can I rectify this? Thanks.

That is in fact what is going on - a version of the draft is stored locally on my laptop for example in DRAFTS and when I try to access the 'drafts' on another system, the draft is in some IMAP draft folder.
Not exactly intutive but as long as they are stored that's what is important to me.

SharePoint "Use my local drafts folder" not to be displayed

Hi,
Is it possible to prevent SharePoint from displaying “Use
my local drafts folder” dialog box and
disable this option on default so users won't be able to store files locally?

I see a similar thread here - http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/f7e2ee0d-92ff-4bfe-95e7-1ba7b95514cc/disable-the-use-my-local-drafts-folder-option-in-sharepoint-2010-open-document-dialog-box?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
which mentions that You can not directly edit that dialog (it's an activex control client side). But you can set
group policy to modify the office client behavior

Arrangement of icons in a folder not saving on reboot....

Hello - I'm posting this here as recommended - didn't get an answer on another forum.
Hi - first problem with my year old mac, and first question here. Apologies if this one has been answered already - I looked through a few pages of the forum, but not all of them.
For some reason one or maybe 2 of my folders has stopped remembering how I've arranged the icons. This only happens when I restart the computer - otherwise the icons stay where they are. Also the background gets reverted to the default state on reboot. This only happens with my main hd folder - the one in the top right of the screen, and maybe my applications folder, although I haven't checked that one thoroughly.
It could be that the ds.store file is getting hosed somehow on reboot - any ideas why this might be happening?
This is a single user computer, btw.

Hi Again Steve!
Same answer in other thread.
See if this Making Finder window views persistent, authored by Scott Radloff, helps.
Also, positioning icons, too close to the edge of the window, will cause them to reposition themselves on restart.
Positioning them too close to each other, will cause this as well.
Depending on how many icons are displayed, the Size of the icons, as well as the Text size & Label position can also factor in. Experiment with these settings.
My folder icons usually do not reposition themselves, and this is how I have my View Options set.
Icon size: 32 x 32
Text size: 12 pt
Label position: Bottom
I have none of the following options selected.
Snap to grid
Show item info
Show icon preview
Keep arranged by
A different configuration may work for you. Experiment with the options until you find something suitable.
With the folder window open,
From the Finder's Toolbar, position your cursor over "View" and pull down to "Show View Options", and click. Or use the Command + J keys.

Favorite effects folder not saving

Hey all,
I'm not sure why this is, but for awhile now, I haven't been able to keep my favorites bin in the effects tab stuffed with my favorite effects. I can usually fill a bin with a couple of cross dissolves set at different lengths, as well as some other commonly used transitions/filters, and it would stay like that even between reboots. It used to be as long as I didn't have to trash preferences, that bin would stay filled. But now, for some reason, even if I just close FCP, I have to re-create all my favorite effects.
I'm running OS 10.4.10, and FCP 6.0.3 on a Mac Pro 8-core 3.0Ghz.
I do have my normal autosaves, waveform cache, thumbnails set to my internal boot drive, where I've always kept them.
Any ideas why FCP isn't remembering them anymore?
Thanks,

This may be a perfect time to trash those preferences and try again.

Submit Form Via Webmail Is Not Creating Email In Drafts Folder

Bottom Line Up Front: PDF's Submit via Email (Webmail) is not creating the email in the Webmail account.
What I am using:
=============
* Adobe Acrobat Pro XI; however, I have a lot of users using Adobe Reader.
* Yahoo! email
What I am trying to do:
==================
Send the data from a completed pdf to an email address via webmail.
What Works:
===========
Using the default application - Microsoft Outlook, the form's data is placed into an XML attachment and an email is created for review and transmission.
What Isn't Working:
===============
Sending the same form via the Webmail feature. Acrobat first provided the Yahoo account name and password handshake screen, and then I authorized Acrobat to use my Yahoo account. The form provided a status bar that indicated the email was being created and the attachment being added to the email; however, no email was ever created (and placed in my draft folder) and no email was sent (checked there too.)
What I've Confirmed:
================
I've gone to my Yahoo account's "Manage Apps and Website Connections" and confirmed that Acrobat is permitted to create emails (among other things). I've tested the non-webmail (default) email. I've confirmed in my Acrobat Pro XI preferences that the email account is there.
All help is greatly appreciated.

Yes. However, if I receive that 500th back I have violated the License. Though I believe you need to go back and read it again It seems to say you can only send out 500 copies.
Either way would be breaking the intent of the license agreement.
WE have fought hard just to get this little change made (for benefit of very small Business or even non-profits). So we don't want to cause Adobe to pull this out of the next version because of misuse.

Emails that get filed in draft folder

When I am in my in-box with an email open. I accidentally hit the draft button at the top of the email. I saw the email get filed in the draft folder, but I don't know where to go to retrieve that email out of drafts.

If holding the iPad in landscape orientation, then tap your account name in the top left-hand corner and then select the Drafts folder and the email that you've saved within it. If holding the iPad in portrait orientation then tap the Inbox icon in the top left and then do similar.

How do I open draft folder of my mail?

How do I open draft folder of my mail?

Tap on it. The same way that you open any folder in your email account. If you are asking how to create a draft folder .... Start typing an email and then tap Cancel at the top of the email window and you will be prompted to save or delete the draft. Tap Save Draft and then the draft folder will appear.
Now what are you really asking about? Will your draft folder not open?

When I am writing an email, I get an alert message that says “The message could not be copied or moved to the drafts folder. Writing to the folder failed. To gain disc space, choose Empty Deleted and choose Compact Folders and try again.”
If I do that, I get a message saying “There was an error copying to the Sent folder,, retry?”
If I retry it sends the uncompleted email. All I can do is keep deleting the message and carry on. Then the whole business might repeat itself.
Help!

Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive. If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
-Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
-Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down. You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
-Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes. Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked. You can close Preferences now.
-Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library. iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
Shouldn't have any more problems...

Outlook 2010 not saving Sent emails in Sent Items Folder

This problem does not exist on this forum. Using Outlook 2010 (V 14.0.7106.5001 (64-bit) on Windows 7 64-bit with three accounts: 1 account is Gmail and 2 accounts are IMAP. The IMAP accounts inexplicably stopped saving Sent emails. The
Gmail account still saves the Sent emails.
Tried already:
1. Changing the Sent Items setting from Save on folder on computer to Save on server and then changed back to the way it was, which is correct.
2. Created a new profile and entered the email settings. Still no sent mails being saved.
3. Ran Outlook repair. No luck.
Not sure where to go with this next. Never have run into a problem like this before.

Hi,
Please make sure you have the emails sent to the recipients successfully, if not, the emails may be saved to other folders if you have the following setting:
File tab -> Options -> Mail -> If you checked
Automatically save items that have not been sent after this many minutes,
Save to this folder, you may have your emails stored in the selected folder if the emails are not sent successfully.
Please visit the Webmail site, could you find the sent items there?
Try Reset View, then try to search for the sent emails by keywords in Advanced Find, can you find the emails?
Kindly check the following settings:
File tab -> Options -> Mail
-> under Save messages, make sure you have checked Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder
If none of the above helps, feel free to contact me again.
Regards.

Msn email "drafts" folder lost in IOS update; did not reappear with "restore". Any clues?

msn email "drafts" folder disappeared in IOS update; did not reappear with "restore".
Any clues?
Thanks in advance!

I thought I would voice my opinion as well.
I have an iPhone 3G and whilst I would like to say that it is excellent and that I enjoy using it the reality is that in its current state (2.02 software) it is unusable. I really had to hold my tongue there - I feel really mad at present and feel that apple should try to release software that has been through at least one decent test cycle.
I am on my second phone - the first being returned at the suggestion of apple care who suggested it may be a hardware fault - there was no fault with the hardware - again software issues but I exchanged it to cover both bases.
I have never found that the backup to work and simply do a full restore - which at present I perform on a daily basis as the phone locks at the apple screen on a daily basis and it then takes over 5 hours to restore - it is unusable.
I suspect the underlying issue in my case relates to the volume of applications that I load onto the device - but hey it should be fit for purpose!
What I am looking for here is honest recongnition and report of the issues and problems with the device from apple - and releases that give a clearer indication of their intended purpose i.e. a little more detail than "Bug Fix". Is that too much to ask?

Snow Leopard breaks quite a few drivers - my Canon exhibited the same problem.
I eventually found updated drivers on the Canon website. You can try that with the HP, but if the all-in-one is more than a year or so old, don't hold your breath.
You can also try Software Update to see if it will offer new drivers, or failing that go to the Support Downloads site and search for HP updates.
In fact there's a new one for HP at the top of the list just now.
You may not necessarily want the latest one, though - check the specs to see if your model is covered; if not, search for the previous update etc.

On IMAP email, is there a fix for not being able to save to the SENT or DRAFTS folder?

Dear Support,
Recently I switched from POP to IMAP email. Now the IMAP account does not save Drafts or Sent folders. The POP account is still set up and does save. I love using Thunderbird and have used it for over 10 years. This bug is very annoying to me. Can you please tell me if a fix is in the works? From the chat boards it seems like many users do have the bug.
Thank you,
Chris

Wrt the drafts folder, try to use the local one instead of the one on the server.
Problems with copying messages to the Sent folder on the server may be caused by an unreliable Internet connection. I'm afraid there isn't much you can do about this. Have you checked with your email provider?
