Email format lost in draft folder

Is there a way to keep the formatting when saving an email to the draft folder?
I'm using Yosemite, and when saving an email to the draft folder, upon reopening it, it loses its 'rich text' format (even if I select the 'Rich Text' option in the 'composing' tab of preferences), hence all the hyperlinks, font formatting, lists, etc.
I suspect it's a bug, but does anybody have any suggestion? Thx

I still don't know WHY the mail draft disappeared (anyone an idea?), but at least I have it back!
I went to home>Library>Mail>POP-xxx>Drafts.mbox>Messages and from there entered TM, went 2 days back where I found it.

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?

Email's staying in 'Drafts' folder in OWA (Exchange 2013)

Hi Guys,
I have am setting up a new Exchange 2013 Server. The server is hosting both Mailbox and Transport Roles. When I try and send emails from OWA they are placed in the 'Drafts' folder and never leave the server.
I have tried to run a SMTP Test using Telnet but I can't get it to accept requests from my computer I keep getting the following error.
EHLO

I have changed the email addresses to protect our email servers from spam. Does anyone have any suggestions I have included a screen capture of my Receive connectors as I have a feeling this issue might be linked to they way they are configured.

Hi,
Did you install CAS role in your company?
Please check if all the Exchange services on the server have started via Test-Servicehealth. Especially Exchange Transport service and Mailbox transport service.
In addition, I recommend you refer to the following article to check if the receive connector was configured correctly:
How to Configure a Relay Connector in Exchange Server 2013
This article demonstrates how to meet the following two requirements in Exchange Server 2013
Internal SMTP relay – the ability to make an SMTP connection to an Exchange 2013 server and send email to recipients that are internal to the organization
(for example, a “scan to email” feature on a multi-function print device)
External SMTP relay – the ability to make an SMTP connection to an Exchange 2013 server and send email to recipients that are outside the organization (for example, applications or hardware that sends automated reports or alerts to external
vendors or consultants)
Hope this helps!
Thanks.

Accessing email on-line. Draft folder says 4294967295. Why?

My Draft folder says 4294967295. I've deleted the email account and this number (beside the title "Drafts") goes away but, after putting the account back on the phone, this number comes back a day or so later. Any ideas why I get this and how would I delete it permanently?
Any help would be appreciated.

I figured it out myself, by clicking the plus button and typing the word 'drafts' and the folder reappeaered!

IMAP Email: Sent, Trash, and Draft folder behavior

I just did a fresh install of Snow Leopard where I'm unable to configure or sync the Sent, Trash, and Draft Folders in their specific top level sections. Although, I was able to successfully configure them in this way before I reinstalled Snow Leopard (currently running 10.6.6).
I had 3 IMAP accounts within three top level folder sections called Inbox (3 accounts), Sent (3 accounts), Draft (3 accounts), and Trash (3 accounts) where all email was stored/synced on the IMAP server hosted by my webhost.
After reinstalling Snow Leopard, I configured each account the same exact way where the Inbox folder was configured just fine on the top level but now the Sent, Draft, and Trash folders have now moved to the lower level "On My Mac" section where specific sections were created for each account (Example: (Account 1 - Sent, Draft, Trash). Although, I do see a Sent section in the top level with nothing in it.
When configuring the email, I selected to store sent email, drafts, and trash on the server. Path is currently set to INBOX. I really do not understand why Mail is creating separate lower level "On My Mac" sections and placing the Sent, Draft, and Trash folders in there.
I greatly appreciate any help or tips I can try to set my IMAP email the way I had it before.

Select the 'Sent' mailbox in the lower section, choose menu 'Mailbox' > 'Use this Mailbox for' > 'Sent'.
Repeat the procedure for the other mailboxes (drafts, junk, trash).

Emails saved in my DRAFT folder freeze my screen when opened

Neither the SEND nor the CANCEL button activate so the whole email system is frozen.

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Email sent from ActiveSync Device Goes to Drafts Folder

Issue: Sending an email from an activesync device (Android using native email app or iPhone) moves the sent item to the drafts folder in Outlook without actually sending the email.
Scenario: Outlook is open on the individuals workstation and they are not in cache mode. Individual sends an email from the activesync device and the email is in the drafts folder in Outlook and message is not sent.
Placing user into cache mode resolves this issue.
Having Outlook closed resolves this issue as well.
Environment: Exchange 2010, Outlook 2007
The research I have completed on the internet points to CRM but I have verified there is no Outlook add-in for CRM installed.
Has anyone else seen this?

Has anyone else seen this? I have one user that is on Exchange 2010 and is using an iPhone and iPad and
was experiencing this issue. We were able to resolve it by exporting his mailbox, deleting it and recreating. It was working for about a week and now the problem has reoccurred. Anyone know if there is a permanent fix for this? We haven't gotten anywhere with
Microsoft.
Note: When this problem is occurring, the same issue happens in Outlook Web Access. Sending a message from
OWA also sends the item into the DRAFTS folder and the mail is never sent.
We do not use MS CRM btw.

After hitting send a draft is still saved in the draft folder.

When responding to an email it automatically saves into the draft folder which is great! However, after hitting send, the email stays in the draft folder. I do hear the "swoosh" sound so I know the email is sent, but I have to go in and delete the emails in the draft folder occassionally. I have received emails back from people even though the message is still in drafts so I know they are being received.

Is this a Gmail account? I've seen that behavior and the solution has been to turn off the feature of saving drafts to the server (see Mail - Preferences - Accounts - Mailbox Behaviors).

HT1338 Help with deleting mail in Draft folder

In Mail, I have 4 email messages in my Draft Folder and I cannot delete them. Mail is attempting to send them, but can't. I want to get rid of them. Deleting and erasing doesn't work.
Advice?

Are they in the drafts folder or outbox? Open Activity window under Window in Mail's menu. Click the processes in the Activity window and then try deleting the messages.

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?

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...

How can I save a reply email to drafts folder when using hotmail on my ipad2 with safari ??

It appears that the iPad mail app cannot push drafts so I can access them on a pc.     If there is a way to do this, I would like to know
If the above is not possible, I'd like to know how to save a reply email to the drafts folder when accessing hotmail on my iPad from safari.   I can't seem to find a button on the hotmail pag, or any help instructions anywhere.     I hav done this for years using a pc with Firefox or explorer with no problem. This has to be so easy that it will seem like I asked q stupid Ustinov when I get the answer!

I am still waiting for an answer.    If you don't know the answer, but know who to ask or where to look to find an answer, I'd really appreciate it.

I can no longer send emails and my drafts folder no longer functions. How do I fix them?

I am using Windows XP. I have Mozilla Firefox 3.6. My Gmail account no longer can send emails and my Drafts folder is inoperable. I can see, save, discard, or edit anything in Drafts. This is only with my home pc. Any other computer (library, work..) does work. How do I fix this?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Please read and begin using Can receive email, but not send email. I had a similar issue with Comcast mail (could receive by not send) and found my answer in this letter. For me it took resetting the outgoing mail and telling the system to use a password when sending outgoing mail. If you need help with that please advise and I'll tell you where to look.

Sending email leaves duplicates in the Draft Folder

When I am sending particularly large email messages, the email gets sent, but for some reason a duplicate of the message gets left in the Drafts Folder. So now I have the same email that I had just sent in the Drafts Folder and in the Sent Folder. So then I have to manually trash the message in the Drafts Folder.
This does not seem right. In the past the message in the Drafts folder has always deleted itself as soon as the email has been sent.

The last one that exhibited this behavior contained two photos that added up to 4.6MB.
But the size factor does not seem to enter in since the messages sailed out as they normally do complete with the Zooom sound that is assigned leaving behind the complete message sitting in both the Sent and Drafts folders. This leaves me with the housecleaning task of selecting the message in the Drafts folder and clicking the trash can.
It should be noted that the last time I did this, the deleted message re-appeared the next day in my Trash as a recovered file. It is like the cat that keeps coming back...
