Mail "Draft" issue

Hi folks
Each time I start my Macbook Pro and Mail opens their is a "Draft" of the last email I sent before shutting down. This also occurs when waking the Macbook from Sleep. So bizarre! Does anyone else have this issue? And what can be done to correct it?
Note: Mail collects my emails from Gmail account
PS When I cleared my gmail inbox all emails collected by Mail were wiped clear ... I lost all emails! Grrrr.

Why do my web searches show up in my yahoo e-mail drafts folder?

my web searches are in my yahoo e-mail drafts folder, I have to delete them daily, it started when firefox was updated. I checked, yahoo is not my search engine.

Thank you - I'm editing them in the iPhone camera roll - not an app. I don't know what that's called - sorry! It just gives you the option to crop, auto enhance or remove red eye. I did those things, and then saved each one. When I put the photo on facebook or Slideshow+ app the originals show up instead of the edited versions. However, in the folder or on my phone, I only see the edited version??? It seems like a lot of people have this issue - I wish Apple support would chime in! Have a great day!

Syncing Mobile Mail draft messages to /Drafts in Gmail over IMAP

I'm using IMAP with Googlemail.
Can anyone tell me how to set my iPod touch's Mail account to save drafts to /Drafts on the IMAP server? Currently it saves to [Google Mail]/Drafts even though under Incoming Settings, IMAP Path Prefix is set to / .
Thanks.

Well, I don't know how, but after removing all the accounts on my Pre (manually), manually backing up what remained to my Synergy/Palm Profile account, running WebOS Doctor once more and then re-adding all my accounts manually, Gmail is working again. I can't say exactly what fixed it, but man, what a pain!
Oh, and on a side note - nice going with the 2010 EAS (Exchange) calendar FAIL, Palm. I really appreciate that "little" bug too. *Rant off*

Transport Mail Database issues crashing Transport service

We are experiencing frequent issues on Hub servers (as often as once a week) where Transport Mail DB issues crash the Transport service. Had an MS specialist in the other day who could not exactly figure out the root cause. The pattern usually is as follows:
1. Event ID 486 - This event refers to a failure to move a log file (associated with Transport Mail DB queues) because it is being used by another process. What that process could be is unknown.
2. Event ID 413 - Unable to create a new logfile because the database cannot write to the log drive.
3. Event ID 492 - The logfile sequence in <dir> has been halted
4. Event ID 17019 - A database operation has encountered a I/O error. The Microsoft Exchange Transport service is shutting down. Exception details: Microsoft.Exchange.Isam.IsamLogWriteFailException: Failure writing to log file (-510)
Also followed by events 7001,1022,1002, and 1003.
Haven't been able to determine what is causing Event ID 486. Not aware of any process that would be tying up the access to the log file. These queue files are stored on a local disk, not a SAN.
Any ideas as to what could be causing this? Running E2K7SP1 Rollup 2 currently on all Exchange systems.

Hi,
I suggest that you use the following method to check which process access the log file indicated in the event 486:
Using Process Explorer
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/ProcessExplorer.mspx
Then, we did the following:
1. Launch Process Explorer
2. Click Find, Find Handle or DLL
3. Enter the log name indicated in the event 486 and click Search
In addition, please also check whether any events such as 150004 occur before the Transport service crashes. If you notice the event, I also suggest that you refer to the following article:

Does anyone know the sys file path to Apple Mail draft-emails folder?

Does anyone know the system file path to Apple Mail draft-emails folder?
I want to stuff a bunch of files into that folder and have them appear in Apple Mail.
Thanks

I think the problem is the fact that the emails are on a PPC G5 and in a completely different format that your main iMac (you're on Lion?). There is even a problem between SL and Lion; I just spent hours dragging individual mailboxes from a Lion machine to an SL machine. They wound up in the Import section. And, I just tried it: after you manually put the mailboxes in the appropriate spot and you've rebuilt each mailbox once it appears in Mail, I was able to drag an email from an Import mailbox to my Inbox. But, as I said that was between SL and Lion; don't know if that would work with 10.4 (?) and Lion.

Turned on computer email said i needed new account when I have been using for years (no mail, drafts, sent)

Turned on computer email said I needed new account when I have been using for years (no mail, drafts, sent). I filled oyt new mail setup and it only found my mail not drafts and sent ... I use drafts to store documents and sent in a leser capacity - Ihave huge data in drafts. Tried to restore using time machine (never had to before). The backups are there but the restore button does not highlight??? So when you clickit nothing happens.

Restoring Mail is complex. Luckily, the late James Pond left us an illustrated guide:
You can restore the Mail messages and indexes to the way they were (provided you have a Backup from around that time)

Outgoing Mail server issues

IPhone Cannot Save E-mail Drafts

The current iPhone OS cannot save e-mail drafts. (The Draft folder displays, but an e-mail created using the iPhone cannot be saved as a draft.) E-mail drafts must be saved on a Mac, after which they can be accessed on an iPhone. This is problematic, not only limiting the iPhone user to the choices of either sending or deleting a current e-mail message, but also creating the need to create drafts ahead of time at home on a Mac in order to access them on the iPhone (which defeats the whole purpose of a draft; an unfinished e-mail message which could not be foreseen ahead of time, that needs to be finished later).
For example, the current iPhone OS will not let you enter multiple e-mail addresses for an e-mail message. A "not-very-good" work-around for this is to create a draft on a Mac in Mac Mail ahead of time with the desired group of multiple e-mail addresses entered in the 'To:' field. Then, when you want to send an e-mail message to a large group of people from your iPhone, you can access the draft e-mail to do it. But once the draft has been sent from the iPhone, it disappears from the Draft folder, and you have go home to create another one on the Mac computer before being able to access it from your iPhone again. Giving the iPhone the ability to save an e-mail message as a draft (not just view drafts), and have the draft sync with MobileMe to be viewed in Mac Mail and MobileMe Mail would eliminate this problem.

I have used an application called "Download All Files" from the Play Store (formerly Android Market) to allow me to download any kind of attachment in emails. Give that a try and see if it works for you.

Mail app issues

This is more of a Mail app issue, and I've posted the question on that board, but I thought I'd post it here because I'm hoping some admins might have dealt with a similar issues:
Is anyone having success with clients on Network Homes using Leopard's Mail.app and an IMAP server?
Things used to work on the same client machines under Tiger, but after upgrading them to Leopard, Mail.app flat out refuses to work.
Users with portable homes seem to have better luck.
Some symptoms:
after working fine for 15-20 seconds, preview pane gets stuck on a "Loading" message. Double-clicking the same email opens it just fine in a separate window.
auto-fill of addresses in the To: field doesn't work. (The little circle on the right just keeps spinning.)
Mail.app does not pull any new incoming messages.
Mail.app refuses to quit cleanly. Force-quitting is the only way to make it quit
Mail.app randomly needs to "Quit or Quit and Rebuild" the database.
Thanks.

Ramesh,
To paraphrase [url http://asktom.oracle.com]Tom Kyte, "holy unreadable code, Batman!"
Code is much more readable if you put "[ code ]" and "[ /code ]" (without the spaces and quotes) around your code samples.
Seems to me this would be a function of how the email server you are connecting to works - perhaps there is a folder called "Sent Items" or "Drafts" that you can use in this line (note the code tags ;) :
Folder fldr = store.getFolder("INBOX");Not sure if this is possible via POP, but it is in IMAP. Hint: use google and search for:
javax.mail "sent items"
you'll get some helpful information. Nothing to do with JDeveloper here.

When i paste some copied color text or formatted cells from excel to my mail draft while composing a mail, it is being pasted as plain text. No back groud or text colors are copied to it. Please suggest a possible solution for this issue.

Colors & Formatted Cells from Excel application can not be copied to my mail composer as it is. Only Plain text is copied.

Wish I could be king. But you described the problem perfectly and I am still but a pawn. All I can say is that I trashed the mail preferences (com.apple.mail.plist) on my Mac Mini, and now my MacBook seems to work right.
Sorry. :>) But that is the truth... The MacBook now has actually sometimes displayed pasted text in its actual, different, font and style as I paste it into a partially composed new mail message.
In other (more rational) words, the problem seems to be tied to pasting only certain types of text. I have not been able yet to pinpoint what. Yes, frustrating indeed. The only work-around has been to re-train my fingers to command-option-shift V, for "paste and match style" (like you, I do not want to always use only plain text). Maybe someone else will eventually weigh in with a real solution. The solution I want is just to be able to consistently see any font variations within my message before I send the email.
The info about the different ppi scales between Windows and Mac is interesting, although not relevant to this particular problem. It does explain the apparent overall size differences I have seen before.
