How to get rid of these reappearing invisible e-mail drafts?

I have a pretty crappy problem with my iPhone.
Basically, if I begin to type an e-mail message (doesn't matter what e-mail account I use) and stop typing it (where it makes a draft), if I cancel/delete that draft and never send the e-mail, the draft still exists on my phone somewhere I can't see. How do I know this?  Because, just about every day, I'll get some notifications in the notification center re: those messages being unread/unsent.  Clicking on those messages will pull me into the draft I was working on, but tapping "cancel" again (instead of send) on the draft will no longer prompt the dialog confirming I want to cancel and delete the draft.  It just exits the message.  Modifying the draft will cause the prompt to show up again, but clicking delete does not get rid of the draft on my phone.  Sending the draft does not get rid of it either.  It will reappear later.  It's like OOOOOOOOOKAY!!!
I have 3 e-mail accounts on my phone and it happens with ALL of them.  One of them is POP and the other 2 are Exchange based.
I reproduced it again yesterday with my Comcast POP account, this time actually saving the draft and deleting it for kicks.
1. Started typing an e-mail message.
2. Decided to cancel the e-mail message.
3. Prompt occured to delete or save the draft.
4. Selected delete.
5. Draft appears to be GONE.
6. Sometime later, in the notification center, my draft will show up there.  I can tap the draft in the notification center to be taken back to it.
7. Tapping cancel at this point will just exit out of the draft.  Sending the draft will send the e-mail message but it will appear in the notification center later.  Typing more text on the draft, hitting cancel and delete will still cause the draft to show back up later in the notification center.
I've also tried a varation of saving the first draft, going into the drafts folder under Mail and deleting the draft there... but it comes back.
I really don't know what to do at this point.  May try a erase all content and settings then reconfigure everything.
What's funny, also, is these drafts are searchable in the spotlight but you can't find them normally in the Mail app.
If anyone has come across this issue before and knows of a fix, please let me know!!  I'm going to try a backup of my iPhone, tonight, and restoring from backup before a fresh reconfiguration.  I pray it works!!!
Edit:  Forgot to add that I also deleted all the e-mail accounts and readded them too.  No fix!

I have the same problem, those "deleted" drafts always appear in notification center.
I don't like the solution by erasing the contents/settings and restoring from backup. I simply "clear" from right corner in notification center, but not sure if that "clear" function is just a cover-up, or it actually deletes those weird drafts.

    Where was the one that you moved to your desktop before you moved it to the desktop?
    I really don't understand what you're trying to say. If I have a folder in A, and I move it to B, then the folder will be in B. There is no duplication. I still have only one folder, only the location is different.
    Furthermore, your desktop is on your hard drive. Everything is on your hard drive.

    Can any one help me to sort these wornings out.

    'Deprecated' means the method has been scheduled to be removed from iOS and you should not use it.  If you continue to use it, your app will break when a user of your app upgrafes to a new version of iOS that no longer supports it.
    The method 'setText' has been designated as 'Deprecated' and you've used it in your app.
    In the case of 'setText' for UILabel,
    you should modify your code to something like this:
    UITableViewCell *cell;
        NSString *cellValue; 
        static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
        cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
        if (cell == nil)
            cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
            cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
        cellValue = @"This is the first line of text in the cell";
        cell.textLabel.text = cellValue;
        cellValue = @"This is the detailText that displays below cell.textLabel;
        cell.detailTextLabel.text = cellValue;

  • How to get rid of "Sent By" in outgoing mails

    I've got IMAP set up on apple mail with gmail
    I forward all my domain.com emails to my gmail
    I've added my domain.com email using the method so that I can send emails out via my domain (http://5thirtyone.com/archives/862#comment-52819)
    When I send my email out using apple mail with the domain.com email address, the receiver see's the "Sent By" with my gmail email address... (effectively the from email is my gmail address) - the reply-to is still my domain.com address which is good.
    Does anyone have this problem? and
    How do I stop the "Sent By" from being seen by the receiver?
    YLL

    Just to give everybody an update.
    I used IMAP for mydomain.com email into gmail
    I added gmail IMAP into my apple mail
    I added mydomain.com outgoing mailbox into apple mail
    when sending email out from mydomain.com I use mydomain.com mailbox which I added
    This seems to work, and I stopped getting those "sent by gmail" tagged onto my emails.

    you didnt seem to have configured the datasource / connection pool / database control with proper db properties
    you should check your configuration to see if you have done it right and then you should check your application and the properties settings in the controls to ensure they are right.

  • How to get rid of _WA_sys statistics ?

    Hi,
    I am on SQL 2008.
    On one of our main databases, Auto Create statistics is set to True. On certain tables, we have _WA_sys statistics generated on many columns. Many of those columns are part of an index (but not the leading column). Recently we have migrated to SQL 2008 from
    a different database.
    In many of our performance issues, my theory is, due to these _WA_sys stats, we are not getting the plan, we expect from the query.
    What I want to try is, get rid of some of the _WA_sys stats and try running the queries. I tried doing,
    drop statistics [my_table_name].[_WA_Sys_00000003_060DEAE8]
    The command ran successfully, but when I refresh SSMS, I can still see the _WA_sys stats there. Why is that?
    Do I need to set Auto create statistics to False first, before deleting these stats?
    How can get rid of these stats? How can I stop generation of _WA_sys stats for certain tables? Or do I have to do that at database level?
    One might say, MSSQL is creating that for a reason. I agree. But in our particular application, there are very few very huge tables and we exactly know how to use them, really :)
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    You can turn off auto update stats for certain tables suing
    sp_autostats if you’re fairly confident that’s what you need. 
    sp_autostats [ @tblname = ] 'table_or_indexed_view_name'
    [ , [ @flagc = ] 'stats_value' ]
    [ , [ @indname = ] 'statistics_name' ]

  • How to get rid of invisible duplicate photos in iPhoto '09?

    Hello All,
    In the course of transfering my data from my external drive (clone of my iBook) to my new MacBook Pro, I transferred all the photos I had in iPhoto on the iBook.
    Afterwards, I realized the photos on the clone version of iPhoto were not necessary as I had them backed up elsewhere, so I deleted them all in iPhoto (on the MBP) in order to start a fresh library.
    To do this I selected them all and hit the delete key.
    Yet somehow, my iPhoto library still showed 9 GB of data.
    But where are the photos?
    I thought they might still be in iPhoto trash, but the empty trash feature is grayed out....
    So then Idecided to import a smaller collection of photos from my iBook directly to the MBP. iPhoto asked what I wanted to do with duplicates and I indicated not to import (apply to all).
    Now, my new iPhoto library is 12 GB, i.e. the deleted 9 GB + these additional photos...
    After reading some forum messages I installed the Services add-on that lets you see the contents of your iPhoto library, and almost every photo is duplicated!
    Yet in my iPhoto window, only one copy of each shows.
    How can I get rid of these invisible duplicates?
    Thanks for any advice!

    Thank you, that sounds like a good solution, except.... I've already begun erasing and reformatting my iBook drive, so I no longer have a separate copy of the photos I wanted to keep; they're in the iPhoto '09 library, along with duplicates...
    Is there no way to "weed out" duplicates ?

  • I updated to 3.6.8 and now have web page previews in my tabs - how do i get rid of these

    When I upgraded to 3.6.8 all my tabs now are twice the size and have a thumbnail preview of the webpage in them - how do i get rid of these and go back to the normal tabs
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == i upgarded to 3.6.8

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    If you used iTunes to get the photos on the phone, then use the same iTunes and uncheck the music you don't want and do another sync.

  • I want the Google and Yahoo fight on my browser to go away. How do I get rid of these stupid notifications asking me to make one or the other my defaults?

    I use Google. My browser is set with Google.ca as my homepage and Google is my default search engine.
    For a while I was getting messages asking me if I wanted to know how to make Yahoo my defaults...I managed to get rid of that crap...
    But now I get bars popping up at the top of my screen asking me if I want to switch to Google...either my homepage or my default search engine...toss-up which one will come up when I open my browser.
    Even though everything is set for Google I still get these obnoxious pushed "suggestions".
    How do I get rid of these?
    Right now it's looking like using IE is the only way...

    You will get them on IE. I suggest you also contact Google support, as this is also a problem on their end. I too have everything set to Google on both Firefox, Opera, IE, and Chrome and the only one not getting the annoying banners is surprising Google Chrome.
