How to eliminate drafts in Mail?

For the last few months each time I prepare a message in Mail that takes more than a minute or so to compose the program saves a draft in the drafts folder.  Once I have sent the message the draft remains, forcing me to manually delete it.  The message also shows up in the Sent folder as it should.  Is there a way to force Drafts to not save messages once they have been sent?  Thanks.

By setting up a Rule?  Not sure if that will work, as I never used Rules plus I deleted my Draft folder.

    When I forward an e-mail, I get a long string of gobblygook that goes with it and I cannot figure out how to eliminate it without having to delete it every time I forward an e-mail. The following is only part of the string that I am talking about. How can I eliminate this from the e-mail?
    Here is part of an excerpt from one of the strings:

    Sorry, Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

    How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"? 
    To my horror, I emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes .
    All mail also disappeared from my iPad, I suppose because they are "synched"
    (Also, no offense, but why do I need to enter this question multiple times?)
    Thanks for any thoughts.

    I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
    I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
    I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

  • Whenever I start my iPhone or iPad I get a message:'Password required/Enter the password for the CardDAV account. Can someone tell me what the CardDAV is and how to eliminate the message?

    Each time I start iPhone or iPad I get a message: 'Password required/ Enter the password for the CardDAV account'. Can anyone tell me what that is about and how to eliminate.
    Also this began happening the same time my Yahoo mail account was hacked which resulted in my mail program (on mini) to fail. It crashes on startup.
    Thanks

    Thanks Steve that did it on my iPad. It was the yahoo account. Im beginning to think that Yahoo is dangerous. It was the hacking of my Yahoo mail account that started these problems. My mail account on my mini still does not work. I posted the problem here and got real professional advice  but to no avail it still doesnt work and I cant re-install the OS because Im in China and their Great firewall keeps the net too slow.

  • How to eliminate some cookies?

    How to eliminate cookies?

    You posted in the wrong operating system forum.     Cookies are a function of the web browser.     Are you using Safari, Firefox, Chrome and what version?
    E-mails should not be affected by cookies, unless you are using a webmail website for your internet provider.  Most providers offer IMAP and/or POP3 e-mail support.  You just need to settings for that.  Sending mail with that sort of provider just requires an SMTP server for Mac OS X Mail.   Note, if the juice for the internet is not coming from Telenet, but someone else you'll have to use password authentication in Mail, with a port such as 2626, 2662, or 587 with the username being your full e-mail address.
    Those settings require no cookie changes in Apple's Mac OS X Mail.     If your signature is accurate, Mac OS X Mail is in your Applications folder as just plain "Mail." (without quotes).

  • How to eliminate (delete) the last blank page in the script?

    Does anyone of you know how to eliminate (delete) the last blank page that appears in the script? My story is 126 pages long but in the screenplay (the document) 127 pages appear because the last one is a blank page, how do I erase this page? Thank you.

    You can try the following:
    - pressing delete key at the end of the text at page 126
    - Check if you have the option to 'Unlock Pages' in 'Production' Menu.
    If you still face this issue, then can you please save that document to disk (File > Save To Disk) and mail us at DL-AdobeStory-support<at>adobe<dot>com, so that we can suggest a fix?

  • How can I setup a mail-specific passcode/restriction on iPad used by multiple family members?

    How can I setup a mail-specific passcode/restriction on iPad used by multiple family members?
    Have an Exchange mail account setup and accessible in my mail on iPad... however my kids use it and i would like to restrict them from accessing this specific portion of the device.  I tried viewing restriction options and do not see that i can apply a restriction specifically to Mail.  Thanks for your help.

    Not a feature of iOS. Check the AppStore to see if there are other
    mail apps that allow passcode protection.
    Or use Safari to log onto your email via a web-based interface and
    enter your credentials each time. A bit slower, but the kids will
    not know the details to login.

    How do I clean up mail in my icloud?  I have already deleted old mail (from all my e-mail accounts) on all devices, and emptied the junk & deleted files, but it still shows that I am at max on my icloud. What do I do to free up space? (photos & apps do not take up that much room).  When I go to manage storage on any device & it will display how much room each program or app is using, it still shows that my e-mail is taking up the most room.  Is there a way to actually log on to the icloud server to manage what it stored there?  If so, how do I do it?  Also, on a related subject,  why does my mail not sync accross all devices?   ie. when I delete an email on one device, why do I still see it on all my other devices?  How can I change this?

    Mail is backed up automatically. If you make backups automatically, open Mail application and then, open the Time Machine app (in /Applications/Utilities). You will access to the Time Machine interface, and you will be able to see all your mails of all the backups you have, and you will be able to restore them. It means that your mails are backed up onto the Time Capsule

  • How to set up a mail server with a private DNS and relay over a public mail

    How to set up the mail server that we can send and pick up emails inside and outside?
    Our private network has the DNS name dnsname1.private.
    We have our privat DNS Server and he can forward requests to outside over our router.
    Our public emails are hosted by an internet provider. This dns name is dnsname2.com and dnsname2.org.
    How we have to set up our mail server that we can pick up our emails from our public dnsname2.com?
    And when we write an email how we have to set up it that the dnsname is dansname2.com and not dnsname1.private?

    If you want to move your mailservice to your own (internal) server, start by making sure you can recieve traffic on port TCP 25 (SMTP). Some ISPs blocks this port, especially on "non business" connections.
    Can you send mail from your LAN directly to where your mail is hosted using port 25 TCP or do you have to relay via your ISP?
    You have a static public IP?

    How can I persuade my Mail settings to accept  a larger Indent on a permanent basis.?
    I find that my Canaon printer has problems with some fonts being too near the Left hand edge of the page.

    You have to separate your step1 and step2 into two parallel loop.
    If you put the two tasks in one loop, the lower speed task will affect the loop speed.
    So that the program won't achieve the top speed.

  • TS2776 How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

    How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

    Depends on how big the file is.  If itis only a couple of pages, or mostly text, the easiest way would be to e mail it.  If it is a very large file you are going to need wifi.  Take both pads to starbucks, and e mail it from there.  Or if you have wifi, use drop box, for example. 
    Your other choice, avoiding wifi would be a bluetooth type transfer.  There is an app call bluetooth file lite that reads like it will do what you need.   The good news is it is free.  The bad news is that it has terrible ratings.  For grins, i am installing it now on a pad and a phone, and will see if it works.
    With a bluetooth method, you need both devices in  the same place.  If you are trying to send your file across country, bluetooth will not work for you.  you need e mail or drop box type solution, and if the file is big, you will almost certainly need wifi.
