How do I send draft emails saved in Outlook?

My iPhone is synched with Outlook on my computer at work. If I compose an email on my work computer and save it as a draft, it appears on my iPhone in my "Outlook" drafts folder, but does not give me the option of sending it or editing it from the iPhone. It does not appear in the iPhone's "Drafts" folder -- and I cannot move the message into the iPhone's (local?) "Drafts" folder.
Does anyone have advice as to how I can compose an email and save it as a draft on Outlook on my computer at work -- and then later continue to work on it and send it from my iPhone?
Thanks!

You're welcome.
If the account an Exchange account, or an IMAP account?
If an IMAP account, you should have an Advanced selection with a Mailbox Behaviors selection for storing the account's Drafts, Sent, and Deleted mailboxes on the server or locally on the iPhone.
I don't access an Exchange account, so I don't know if the same is available with an Exchange account or where the selection is located with the account settings.

Error in opening draft email saved with msg extension

I am attempting to create a email and save it on local hard disc. The email is a file having msg extension. So that it can be opened with MS Outlook. Also I want it to be in DRAFT mode. Like we can create draft email with MS Outlook. This message will have multiple attachmets.
Thus when user opens this file, it will get opened with MS Outlook and user will be able to edit the message text, TO/CC list, attachments.
I am using MimeMessage.writeTo(Outstream) API to save the message to a file, say C:\test.msg
But if I double click test.msg in explorer to open it, it gives error:
Can't open file C:\test.msg. The file may not exist, you may not have permissions to open it, or it may be open in another program.
Is it possible to create draft Outlook email message with msg extension?
If yes, how?
My code:
               Properties props = new Properties();
               props.load(new FileInputStream("C:/email.settings.properties"));
               // create some properties and get the default Session
               Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props);
               session.setDebug(debug);
               // create a message
               msg = new MimeMessage(session);
               //Create message from saved email
               File savedFile = new File("C:/test.msg");
               // set the from and to address
               InternetAddress addressFrom = new InternetAddress(from);
               msg.setFrom(addressFrom);
               InternetAddress[] addressTo = null;
               addressTo = new InternetAddress[recipients.length];
               for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++) {
                    addressTo[i] = new InternetAddress(recipients);
               msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);
               // Setting the Subject and Content Type
               msg.setSubject(subject);
               msg.setContent(message, "text/plain");
               MimeBodyPart attachmentBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
               DataSource ds = new FileDataSource("C:/WhichSQLServer.pdf");
               attachmentBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(ds));
               attachmentBodyPart.setFileName("WhichSQLServer.pdf");
               Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
               multipart.addBodyPart(attachmentBodyPart);
               msg.setContent(multipart);
               //msg.setFlag(Flags.Flag.DRAFT, true);
               msg.getFlags().add(Flags.Flag.DRAFT);
               msg.setFileName("test.msg");
               msg.saveChanges();
               FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream("C:/test.msg");
               msg.writeTo(os);
               os.flush();
               os.close();

Outlook Msg files aren't as easy to write as you would believe. They are a propretary format that microsoft uses based on the DocFile format that Word and Excel uses.
If you did the MimeMessage.writeTo(out) and saved it to a .eml file Outlook Express will open it, but Outlook doesn't directly read this file type.
I've started on a library to allow the creation of Outlook msg files, right now it only allows you to set text, dates, long, and boolean values on the email message (which means you can set stuff like the recieved date/time, subject, body, to, from, etc), but it does not yet support attachments or extra recipents (CC, BCC, etc). I'll be updating the copy on my site as soon as I get the other stuff working (which isn't as easy as it sounds).
Priasoft has a library available that can do what you want however.

How do I send an email with hyperlinks active upon receipt?

How do I send an email with hyperlinks active upon receipt? Currently the hyperlinks are only active once I open the attachment. I want them to arrive active just like they do in the emails I receive from Office Depot et al.

BTW, it is "showing". It's just that the links aren't active.
Sometimes you need to look at it from the perspective of a recepient. Save the message before sending and close it. It will be in your Drafts Folder. Click once on it in the Drafts list so you can view is as the recepient would. (Don't open for edit) The links should be active.

Error sending draft emails on iPhone

I have draft emails saved in the drafts folder on iCloud. If I open one and send it from my Mac, everything works fine. On my iPhone 4 the email will open but when I touch Send I get an error: Cannot Send Mail: Check the settings for the outgoing servers in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Funny thing is that the draft email disappears from the Drafts folder. I have checked in Settings and the Primary Server is set to iCloud SMTP Server, and this works fine for all other email functions. Just not Drafts. Any ideas?

anyone try it? any use?

How can I send an email to a group from my iPhone?

I want to send an email to a group in my contacts, but when I select the group, the individuals display for selection. How can I send an email by addressing it to the group?

I recently upgraded my wife's computer to mountain lion so we could sync it with her iPhone, allowing her to send emails to the groups she manages whether she's at home or on the road.
Is it really the case that the iPhone is incapable of this? The mac does it fine and the iPhone goes through the motions but then bails when you hit send, saying it isn't a valid address.
This really makes no sense. Isn't this the whole point of iCloud?

How can I send an email from my iPad3 to all of my contacts at once?

I would like to know how I can send an email message from my iPad 3 to all of my contacts at once.

If you have a Mac, and you have your contacts synced to your Mac (perhaps with iCloud), you could create a contact group on your Mac containing all your contacts and have that group synced to your iPad.
Perhaps you can do something like that, depending on whether you keep your contacts somewhere else and what type of computer you have.

Is It possible to do it without using workflow?

hello Steven Andrews,
when any user sends a message using contact us page in SharePoint online.
1. We are inserting item in Contact Us List . - This is working fine
for anonymous users also. We have used Office365 anonymous codeplex wsp and it is working fine. Anonymous user is able to insert new record in the Contact Us List.
2. Once, new record is inserted in Contact Us list, we want to fire email notifying thanks to the user on his email id as well as to our company x person for notification of new inquiry.
We tried using Workflow having impersonation step for anonymous user but it is not working for Anonymous users. Workflow is able to sent the email if someone logged into system but not working for Anonymous user although workflow is getting started
but not able to send email although used Imperonsation step.
We are stuck into implementing second step.

how can I send an email to a group in my address book, but hide the individual names and email addresses?

You used to be able to do this through leaving unchecked the box in preferences "when sending to a group show all member addresses". However, that feature failed some time ago (two or three years?) and the only way to hide the addresses now is to put the group in the BCC field.

Use BCC. That's blind carbon copy. And copy paste the address into the BCC field. It really depends what e-mail program you use how to enable BCC.

Your issue has nothing to do with the subject of theis thread. The first thing you should do is to start your own thread. Use a properly descriptive subject line. Explain exactly what you were trying to do, what happened when you tried, what error messages you got and what troubleshooting steps you've already taken (saying "everything" is not useful information).
Best of luck.
