Mail Going To Drafts Folder
I have a seemingly strange issue in that whenever I write one particular recipient the email ends up in my Drafts folder. When I check the Sent folder its shows as Sent. Is it really sent? And if so why is it sending a copy to Drafts?
While indeed unchecking this option stops the behavior, it's not the best of solutions. The options to save drafts on server is available with any decent IMAP program, and generally is very beneficial. Say I start a message on my Mac, and then have to leave before it's done. If it's saved to the server, I can then pick this message up later on my iPhone or iPad and complete it and send it. Or I can start it on an iOS device, have it save to the server from there, and then pick it up on my Mac later to complete.
So, the functionality of "Save drafts on server" is widely known amongst IMAP clients, and it would be nice if Apple Mail would simply replace a previous draft of a particular message with the latest version rather than piling up multiple versions of the email. Also, it's customary that when you eventually send the message, the drafts also disappear.
It would also help if there was a way to increase the auto-save time to a longer setting so that they don't pile up so fast.

Incoming mail going into Drafts folder
I don't have any mail rules set. I get hundreds of emails a day all going to my Inbox (or Junk). Mail from one particular sender goes into my Drafts folder so I usually miss it. How can I stop this?

Iphone 3, sync'd with Exchange, sent mail goes to draft folder
Sent Mail (Exchange Account), is going to the drafts folder
NOTE: This also applies to Exchange 2010
You may want to check that you are getting Event ID 15002 or 15003 logged to the Application event log first before making this change.
See this
ExchangeServerPro article for reference.
Also, see this
Krudler blog post for shortened version.
Please ensure if you are modifying the
"PercentageDatabaseDiskSpaceUsedHighThreshold" value in the EdgeTransport.exe.config file, you should take into consideration the percentage value notified in the Event Log.
See this
MS Technet article for more technical information.
I had the same error as Shimon1 when using the MailFlow Tool in Exchange, however I did not have event 15002 in my Application Event Log. I resolved this problem by:
Modify the TCP/IP network protocol settings using the following commands
netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled
netsh int tcp set global rss=disabled
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
netsh int ip set global taskoffload=disabled
I noticed when viewing individual messages in the queue in Exchange Management Console Queue Viewer, they had this message:
"Error: 4.3.2 432 STOREDRV.Deliver; recipient thread limit exceeded"
This was resolved with the help of this
MS blog on Exchange SP1 improvements.
I made the following addition to the EdgeTransport.exe.config file.
<add key="RecipientThreadLimit" value="2" />
<add key="MaxMailboxDeliveryPerMdbConnections" value="3" /> -

ShambhuHi Subhash,
I have done the troubleshooting but I didn't find any problem at server side. I will send you mail also with all EXBPA report and as well DC, HC and Mailbox servers' Application Log and System Log.
Below are the questions's answers which was asked by you:
1. Please check whether you can send email via Outlook.
I am not able to open the MS Outlook. Please check all details in this thread : http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchange2010/thread/c491c5c7-7d6f-48ff-97fa-6bf83d94e53c
2. Please run EXBPA to have a health scan.
I have run the EXBPA and didn't see any critical Problem. I have took the screen shot and report. Please have a look in below screen shot link:
a. http://cid-31ba948d0da4d57e.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/EXBPA.docx - Final Report

The error which I received in EXBPA, that allready ignored by you and told that it is bug in EXBPA. Have a look here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchange2010/thread/d4bb03bb-db84-4a8b-83ba-19937d7dcacf
3. Please check application log, whether any error event logged there. They could come from ADAccess related error or etc.
I didn't see any ADAccess event on the server. For this I have left my lab PC open and I will check again.
4. We find that if mail .que gets corrupt, then this issue will occur, please try to move the affected user to another store and then test the issue.
I am facing this problem with all users (7 users). Anyway I moved one user from one server Mailbox Database (2mbx2010) to Other Server Mailbox Database (mbx2010). After that
a) Rebooted the Workstation
b) Login successfully with same user.
c) Delete the Old MS Outlook Profile
d) Create New profile for same user without any problem.
e) Tried to login in MS Outlook and got the same error. : http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchange2010/thread/c491c5c7-7d6f-48ff-97fa-6bf83d94e53c
f) Open the OWA successfully for Same user.
g) Tried to send mail but again mail went to Drafts Folder.
5. I noticed that you test the issue after you close outlook. I recommend you to reboot your pc and then access
mailbox via OWA to test the issue.
I tried you suggested option, but sorry it also couldn't help.
6. You also check your disk space.
All Servers have Enough Disk Space. Check the EXBPA Report.
7. You may run EXTRA to get log information for further troubleshooting.
Need more time for this.
8. Please save application log, system log as *.evt file, then send them with EXTRA,EXBPA report to [email protected] .
I have sent it as your mentioned mail address OR, you can get the mentioned log from below link also:
a) http://cid-31ba948d0da4d57e.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/WDC2010%7C_APPLICATION.evtx - DC/GC Application Log

d) http://cid-31ba948d0da4d57e.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/HC2010%7C_SYSTEM.evtx - Hub/Client System Log
e) http://cid-31ba948d0da4d57e.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/MBX2010%7C_Application.evtx - Mailbox Application Log
f) http://cid-31ba948d0da4d57e.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/MBX2010%7C_System.evtx - Mailbox System Log
There will be some error log you will be that the system is not able to communicate with DC/DC, MBX or HC at everyday around 3 AM or some time 6 PM Evening also. These error came because I have installed VM on Windows 7 Workstation and after 45 min or one hrs. if I don't work on PC, then pc goes to sleep. so you may ignore these alerts.
I hope my answer will give you some clue and I expect more help from your side.
With Best Regards

Mails struck in Drafts folder after Transport Agent installed in Exchange Server 2013
Hi all,
I created Transport Agent and installed successfully in exchange server 2013.
After that mails are struck in drafts folder.
I thought because of My Custom transport Agent , then i Uninstall Transport agent.
but still no use.
I restart Microsoft Exchange Transport Service and restart my server also.
Here is the code i used
public sealed class MyAgentFactory : RoutingAgentFactory
public override RoutingAgent CreateAgent(SmtpServer server)
return new MyAgent();
public class MyAgent : RoutingAgent
public MyAgent()
this.OnSubmittedMessage += new SubmittedMessageEventHandler(this.MySubmittedMessageHandler);
public void MySubmittedMessageHandler(SubmittedMessageEventSource source, QueuedMessageEventArgs e)
e.MailItem.Message.Subject = "This message passed through my agent: " + e.MailItem.Message.Subject;
I search in google about mails struck in drafts folder, all replies are
restore Default Receive Connectors. How can i restore it.
here is the link i see
http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/309145-exchange-2013-messages-stuck-in-draftsHi Martina
Miskovic,
Here I am facing some weird situation.
Mails again stuck in Drafts folder.
i didn't installed anything. just checking again after some
time gap .
I tried again by restarting all services
, but no use. -
Mail Messages Going To Drafts Folder
Almost every mail message I compose - both new messages and replies - are showing up in the Drafts folder. These seem to be identical to messages after they are sent and appearing in the Sent folder. I'm not saving them at any time, so why would these messages go to "Drafts"?
Thanks,

I have a Yosemite 10.10.1/OSX Server 4 network. One client machine, new iMac also with 10.10.1, is consistently finding his outbound email going to the DRAFTS folder, and not being sent. However, when he re-sends from DRAFTS, the mail goes out.
What do I need to check or change to have mail sent correctly?
Thanks in advance.
KenFor reference the support statements and requirements for Exchange 2010 virtualization are here

All mail going into spam folder
After upgrading to Lion all mail going straight to spam folder, even the addresses saved in address book. Any suggestions on how to fix?
Is the folder actually called "Spam" or do you mean the "Junk" folder?
A "Spam" folder is not part of Mail, while a "Junk" folder is.
If it is going to "Junk" then check for any Rules in Mail preferences that might be causing it. If there aren't any, try Resetting the Junk email filters in the Junk Mail tab of preferences.
If it is "Spam," then check with Gmail or whatever email service you are using that is routing it there at the server level. -
Good mail going to Junk folder -- even Apple mail
I know there are other threads on this, but no one seems to have a resolve for it.
Mac OS X 10.6.8
Just got my computer repaired at Apple, new harddrive, new video card. So it's starting anew.
However, even my MacBookAir is putting my GOOD MAIL in my JUNK FOLDER. So it's universal on all my devices.
Why is my mail going to my junk folder. It's annoying to have to check every single piece of mail with "this is not junk" and then drag it to the IN box. And then even that doesn't work. I'll still receive the email from the same sender back into my Junk Folder.
I see a LOT, hundreds, of VIEWS for this issue, but no one is yet to resolve it.
Hope someone can solve it. ThanksWell, let's put it this way, it was never a problem before. A new harddrive was installed on my computer so I'm starting from scratch. I have no "rules" set yet. My mail supplier is MAC --.mac, .icloud -- mail. So my provider is MAC or APPLE I guess. It's mac mail.
Everything is set to "default" right now. I followed someone else's instructions to RESET the Junk Mail. Did that.
But I don't know any other proceedures to take to stop ALL MY MAIL from going into the JUNK EMAIL BOX.
Never did that before, so there must be some setting, or not, that is causing it to do that.
I have "enable junk mail filtering" checked. The following types of messages are EXEMPT, my address book, previous recipients, messages using my full name, all checked.
Certainly "previous recipients" should not be sent to the junk folder if that option is checked to be exempt.
What's left? -
Internal mail can not send. mail stored in draft folder.
Hello all,
I have Exchange server 2010 installled on Win Server 2k8 R2 which is running on VMware workstatione. I installed three server OS (2k8 R2) and that server one is my AD and DNS server. On another two OS, one is for Hub transport and CAS role and
second one is for Mailbox server. In exchange, I am able to configure new mailbox or Database. But through OWA, my mail cant send. User can able to login into server. He can access OWA page as well can access for Address book. But when I send the mail for
internal user, it is stored in draft folder. also meeting schedule can not send. I am testing exchange in lab environment. Please help me to resolve this issue.Hi,
From your description, I recommend you run the Test-ServiceHealth cmdlet to verify if all the Windows services that Exchange server requires have started, especially the Microsoft Exchange Transport service.
If all the services that Exchange server required are started, please use message tracking to trace these undelivered messages and check if there is any error.
Hope it helps.
Best regards,
Amy

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. -
I have a Leopard desktop 10.5.8 and I have trouble with my Email Apple MAIL draft folder. First of all after I typed my draft and sent to draft, the folder would not open at a later date to send. In all I have 10 messages, mainly test which I cannot delete from my Draft folder.
My draft system is now working but I cannot get rid of the 10 messages which sit in my INBOX and DRAFT folders.
These messages appear in Application - Mail but they will not go.
How do I delete, or is it best to use My Disc 1# and delete all my software and replace with the Disc in order to have a new MAIL program?
Any advice would be welcome.HI,
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist. -
Since upgrading to Mavericks all my mail is going straight into my Junk folder apart from a trial email I sent to myself. It seems that it is not recognising genuine mail sent from anyone other than people in my contacts.
Has anyone any idea how I can change this from happening?Have you made any changes to the junk filter in Preferences > Junk Mail > Advanced? Try this:
1. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, disable junk mail filtering, then enable it again. This resets the rule that governs what the junk filter does.
2. Choose either Training or Automatic mode (it doesn’t matter) and leave the other options checked. Click Advanced to see how the junk filter rule is defined now if you want, but don’t touch anything there.
3. Reset the junk filter database (Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset). -
"Good" mail going into Junk folder
For the last 2-3 weeks I have started seeing my "good" mail, get delivered to my junk folder. This is mail that I've been receiving for months or even years. None of this mail is personal: some of it is from politicians, some are recipes, one was my place of employment, Macworld. Occasionally I'll send myself an email from my .mac account to my .mac account and it ends up in the junk folder. Almost everything that's going to my junk folder are emails that I have signed up for at one time or another. I'm getting "true junk" delivered there, too.
Any ideas why this is happening and what I can do to reverse the trend? Yes, I'm hitting "Not Junk."
Thanks.
ChipDo you have two different accounts forwarded to one? That's not good.
On your wife's account, your e-mail messages are junk because they aren't hers. The best thing to do is have separate e-mail accounts. You could also create a rule to send your email into a different folder before the junk filter sees it.
In the future, please start your own discussion topic. -
Mail going into junk folder that's not junk
I have tons of emails suddenly going into my junk folder, but they are not even being marked as junk email. These are emails that used to always come in fine.
