Save in draft folder - problem

As I understand it, the save in draft folder function is supposed to appear only for XDP forms. We have a PDF form where the submit button in the form is set to submit as PDF. And yet, the save button still appears in workspace container. If a user selects the save button and later opens the form/task, the form is converted to XML and unviewable.
Within the UserServiceV2 activity, I do not check off the "Reader Submit - Submit via Reader" checkbox. All of our users have acrobat.
Is there some way for the function to work with PDFs? If not, is there a standard workaround to offer that feature to end users?
Thanks

Hi Livecycle Architect,
Did you ever resolve this issue? I have a part of the problem that you describe here. While all my forms are submitted as XDP, if we save a form to Drafts, when we open it latter it shows XML and the form is unusable.
Any pointers will help.
Thanks

Draft folder problem, please help!

After years of fighting the urge to move all of my emails, contacts and calendars to MobileMe, I decided to take the leap and started with iCloud. It's been ok for the last week and really cool how it keeps everything in sync across all of my devices, but the last couple of days have been miserable with the email portion. It's been slow as heck and really buggy. Now the new thing is saving drafts while I'm typing an email, every 30 seconds, which is ok, as long as they would delete after I successfully SEND them! I shouldn't have to go in and delete 7 draft messages that were saved while typing an email, manually. And yes, I know the workaroud about turning off "save on server," but that workaround is on the mail.app. This is happening on the web interface (iCloud.com) as well, which is where I'm experiencing the problem.
Mom always said, "if it's not broken, don't fix it." So maybe I should've stayed with google and gmail because I am sad to say, I had ZERO problems with syncing anything, for the last couple of years, while using it.
Any help is appreciated.

i have the same problem. nothing gets saved to Sent or Drafts folders on iCloud.com.
While sending e-mail on my Mac or iPad everything works perfectly and syncs correctly but if I go to icloud.com there is nothing saved to Sent od Drafts. I checked the preferences and everything is correct.

How can i unfreeze my mail? DRAFT folder problem?

I opened an email saved in DRAFTS, and now I can't close the email nor return to my email account. I can scroll up and down in the email itself, but clicking on CLOSE or SEND doesn't do anything. I'm locked out.

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Enable "save as draft"

Does anyone know how to enable "save as draft" for a form in workspace?

What is the type of your input form variable?
For me, XFAForm renders with save in draft folder option enabled; but DocumentForm is not. Just make sure to have an XFAForm type.

How can I save a reply email to drafts folder when using hotmail on my ipad2 with safari ??

It appears that the iPad mail app cannot push drafts so I can access them on a pc.     If there is a way to do this, I would like to know
If the above is not possible, I'd like to know how to save a reply email to the drafts folder when accessing hotmail on my iPad from safari.   I can't seem to find a button on the hotmail pag, or any help instructions anywhere.     I hav done this for years using a pc with Firefox or explorer with no problem. This has to be so easy that it will seem like I asked q stupid Ustinov when I get the answer!

I am still waiting for an answer.    If you don't know the answer, but know who to ask or where to look to find an answer, I'd really appreciate it.

Problem with Drafts folder

I'm back on the x2 BT Yahoo mail but it still acts up like a Beta version.
Last week I input a lengthy email but had to save it in my Drafts folder pending further info that I needed. That came today so I looged in to my mail, saw that the Drafts folder had a '1' next to it but when I click on it to open it its says that there are no emails in my Drafts folder.
If I log out than back in, it again says shows the '1'. I wait until thge page has loaded but still get the blasted 'no emails in your Drafts folder'.
I can't find any previous threads on this - has anyone else had the same problem please?
Thanks

Taff078,
Glad it worked.
Regarding Advanced Search, you first need to use the Mail Search facility.
When you get your results, on the left hand side you get a section headed "Refine Results"
Below this you get "Advanced Search" and "Search Tips"
Clicking on "Advanced Search" you get all sorts of options one of which is selecting the folders to search.
This is based on BT Yahoo Mail Classic, I cannot guarantee that it is the same on the later versions that I do not recommend.

Why does it now take 5 minutes to save to drafts or sent folder?

Haven't changed anything, but in the last 3 days, I'm constantly interrupted in the middle of composing email while it freezes up and I get the blue waiting wheel when TB saves to drafts. I extended the amount of time between saves, but it still hangs up for about 5 minutes when it does save to drafts and while it's saving to my sent folder. I've rebuilt the global data base, instructed McAfee to leave it alone, disabled the McAfee add-on and restarted TB in safe mode (it's still a problem). I've also run virus protection programs, junk ware removal tool and de-fragmented my hard drive. And optimized it. And updated to the newest version of Thunderbird - now I'm at a loss to think of anything else. I'm running Windows 8 - any thoughts?

McAfee. But I disabled the McAfee app in TB and also went into McAfee and unchecked Thunderbird.

Mail imap problems: Mail created random folders and saves multiple drafts

Hi there, I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and set up Mail to imap my two primary email accounts (new to discussion forum and forums in general):
I have two imap accounts set up: Gmail and Network Solutions (my work webmail). Gmail is working fine.
Network Solutions imap account:
- Saves numerous copies of drafts of the same email as I type, and when I try to delete them (select them all, delete, or select all and move to trash), I get a message saying the Network Solutions server on port 143 has timed out. So I have a bunch of drafts that I can't clear.
Mail menu on lefthand side of Mail window looks like:
Mailboxes
Inbox icon with dropdown to
Gmail Inbox icon
Net Sol Inbox icon
Drafts icon with dropdown to
Gmail Drafts icon
Net Sol Drafts icon (this is where all those drafts keep saving and can't be deleted from)
Sent icon with dropdown to
Gmail Sent icon (only about a dozen sent emails are shown here)
Net Sol Sent icon (only about ten sent emails are shown here)
Trash icon with dropdown to
Gmail Trash icon (seems to be all my trash)
Net Sol Trash icon (seems to be all my trash)
REMINDERS
ON MY MAC
RSS
GMAIL drop down to
[Gmail] white folder icon that has the following sub folders:
All Mail (appears to have all mail from gmail in here)
Drafts
Sent Mail (appears to have all sent mail here)
Spam
Starred
Trash
NET SOL (drop down triangle)
Draft folder (empty folder)
locker folder (empty, no idea what this is, did not come from Net Sol)
Sent (does not refresh properly, always missing recent msgs)
Sent Items (empty folder)
Trash
The thing is, that in Network Solutions, prior to imapping with Mail, I had these folders:
Inbox
Deleted Messages
Drafts
Sent
Trash
NOW, after setting up imap to Mail, new folders have appeared in Network Solutions:
Folder Name
INBOX
Deleted Messages (Bolded)
Draft
Drafts
INBOX
Sent Messages (Bolded) (all recent sent msgs are in here now)
Sent (Bolded) (all sent msgs from Nov 6 and earlier are in here)
Sent Items
Trash
If I want to reference an email I sent after Nov 6, I have to log onto my Network Solutions webmail and go to that Sent Messages folder, move them to the Sent folder, then log out and update my Mail, at which point, I can see them on Mail.
I have not made a single folder in Mail -- what's there is a result of me setting up the two imap accounts.
Network Solutions has no idea what that "locker" folder is, it is not a Network Solutions-generated folder, does not appear in my Network Solutions webmail folder list, and I did not make it.
Can anyone help me clean this up, explain these mysterious folders, why I can't delete Net Sol drafts, why I can't get my sent messages that are more recent than Nov 6 into Mail, even though I've been primarily using Mail to send and receive mail for both Gmail and Network Solutions?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Hi. I posted again, and no one has answered either, here is the other post, it's more detailed in scope:
I am having a very strange problem here which started about a week ago, maybe someone can point me in the right direction:
1) I use both gmail and my domain's server email which load into Mail.app. I use gmail because I like their spam filter and I use their SMTP because where I am, my ISP SMTP server isn't very reliable. Gmail solves my outgoing mail problem, but doesn't support showing when mail has been answered and that is a useful feature.
2) My procedure is to open up gmail in my browser, mark and delete the spam (IMAP Account), then close the browser and open mail.app
3) I have a rule in mail.app which moves my gmail to my domain mail Inbox where I organized with folders and subfolders and use many signatures to send different email out to customers. Mail has been very good as you can do quite a lot with it compared to most other email clients for OSX. I do this for three domains, with several email addresses within each domain.
4) In mail.app, I can choose which mailbox to use for sent mail, junk, etc. This way I am sending from my domain, the email response shows and is linked to that mail so I can look for old responses fast and organize things by department. Spotlight or search works fast and perfectly. It's a good solution which I have used for well over a year (whenever gmail released IMAP services), or was, until a week ago.
Problem 1) As of now, when I open the mail account, the domain subfolders which should be below my Inbox are no longer there. If I look lower to the account folder, sometimes the folders show up there, sometimes they do not show up at all, but they are online in my web-based mail with my hosting company. The mails are not lost, but mail.app is not connecting with the host correctly as they appear and disappear randomly.
Problem 2) Every time I open mail.app now, most of my email inbox folders have to download all of the mail and their attachments again, even though I have the boxes in preferences correctly checked. Once the inbox loads all of the mail, then the subfolders disappear. This is very consistent. As long as there is no mail showing in the inbox, then the subfolders are showing correctly. As soon as the inbox is loaded showing mails, then the subfolders either disappear or move.
Problem 3). The mailboxes that my hosting's webmail service creates (like deleted mail, mail to delete, trash, trash delete, whatever, it's a Windows server) keep showing up in Mail. They never did that before. Once I deleted them, I could see them online, but not in mail. All was as it should be. Now they keep coming back every time I reconnect and I often have to reset which mailbox is being used for junk, sent mail, drafts, etc.
Problem 4). This same problem happens on all three of my machines, two being PPC and one Intel, running 10.4.11 and 10.5.5 respectively. The problem started happening on all my machines at the same time. This is also connection from three different ISPs.
Solution? My hosting company says that they have changed nothing in their settings (IMAP uses Port 143 and I do get a time-out error sometimes but not often). They have tried it in Outlook and do not get the same results, they say it's working fine. I have tried to subscribe in Leopard (you can't do this is Tiger, only in Leopard, but Mail.app says I have no subscribed folders, which is not true). The Quota Limits shows the standard Mail.app mailboxes, the Subscription List shows nothing, and no way to change it).
I tried Thunderbird and it connects faster, downloads faster and the folders are OK, but I still get mail folders appearing randomly. Sometimes I get mail folders appearing that I have not ever created with names like "System Mail". Sometimes I get mail boxes which are stored On My Mac which appear on IMAP suddenly. (Also, Thunderbird has poor signature file support, so I would prefer to use Mail, it's a better program overall.)
I have tried rebuilding the mail accounts, have done this, realistically, 25 times. Yesterday I did a complete reinstall of 10.5.5 just because I am at the end of my rope. Now I am about ready to change hosting companies as I am still having the same trouble. I am in the process of archiving all of my mail into Gmail so I can switch hosts if that is the problem. But, I would like to know first if that is actually the problem, since overall I am pretty happy with my hosting company. They are in Arizona and speak my language and they are easy to talk with. However, they do not have a Mac there so they cannot test my situation from their facility.
It's a strange problem in that one, I have used the system fine for well over a year with perfect results. Two, it happens on three different Mac used in three different places (office, home, and another person's home), and three, I have not changed hosting companies, I have been using the same host for two years and they deny changing any settings on their end.
The hosting company has no answer for me, they are not Mac users, and say that it's perfect in Outlook, but it's not actually perfect in Outlook either as mailboxes still appear randomly and sent mail ends up in my inbox randomly even in Outlook. They just don't realize it as they are not watching my mail boxes except when I am on the phone with them.
I am not having trouble with my websites. I do not have this problem with Gmail, only with my domain webmail.
I have to use Windows because of a particular shopping cart system I use, but IMAP systems should be the same on Windows or anything else. Some how, some where, some one has changed some thing. Any idea what and how to solve the problem?
Thanks,
John

Mail in Yosemite won't save subject of emails in draft folder

Recently updated to Yosemite. Ever since, many or most times if I create a new email and want to save it in the drafts folder, the subject field will be blank (even though it's not blank in the actual email if opened), or it will show only a portion of the subject. Creating another new email and trying again often works, but of course this shouldn't be necessary. It also won't save changes if the subject field of a draft email is edited.
I've searched and found a few other reports of this behavior in Mail since Mavericks came out, but no suggested fixes or solutions.
In case it matters, the email accounts are POP, not IMAP, and the only plugin being used is MailHub.
Anyone else seeing this happen, or know more about it? Any way to know if Apple has acknowledged this as a bug and/or has a workaround for it?
Thanks.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

On IMAP email, is there a fix for not being able to save to the SENT or DRAFTS folder?

Dear Support,
Recently I switched from POP to IMAP email. Now the IMAP account does not save Drafts or Sent folders. The POP account is still set up and does save. I love using Thunderbird and have used it for over 10 years. This bug is very annoying to me. Can you please tell me if a fix is in the works? From the chat boards it seems like many users do have the bug.
Thank you,
Chris

Wrt the drafts folder, try to use the local one instead of the one on the server.
Problems with copying messages to the Sent folder on the server may be caused by an unreliable Internet connection. I'm afraid there isn't much you can do about this. Have you checked with your email provider?

Drafts folder relocation Outlook 2013 and Gmail IMAP and multiple saves to trash folder

Hi,
I have Office professional 2013 32 bit running on Win 7 64bit. I have an issue that I know has been discussed but I see no resolution.
The drafts are saved on the server not locally and the trash folder fills with multiple copies of the draft, the number of copies appears to relate to the time of editing the draft. I have to go in and delete these copies in Trash after writing an email.
Outlook 2013 does not allow me to remap the drafts folder I click unsubscribe and it says the folder is a special folder and cannot be unsubscribed in Outlook. I use the account on my iPhone and this allows me to unsubscribe from the folder.
Has anyone found a solution or is anyone working on a resolution for this problem?
Best regards,
Clive
Regards, Clive

I am having a similar problem with trash receiving multiple copies of some drafts. In last 20 minutes 19 copies of a draft have been included in trash. It seems to happen when I view a draft --but not solely
Using Outlook 2013 with IMAP GMail on windows 7 on a laptop. It synchs with my IPHONE. Yesterday I called Dell Support. They said it was a virus -- though a thorough scan found one item --it was deleted and problem continues.

Save as Draft Problem using library computer

This afternoon I tried to save-as-draft a LONG & INVOLVED communication in .MAC e-mail at a public computer in the library. When I went to my draft folder to ensure it got saved, it was not there. Can someone give me direction on this? I suppose it goes without saying how mad and upset I am. Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this issue.

Hi kvs2,
You did log into .Mac mail online to check your Drafts folder there - right?
Not the Drafts folder on your machine at home...
When you click Save as Draft online, there should be a small green spinning wheel in the left side of the bar between the icons at top and the To:
Also a confirmation "Your message has been saved to Drafts" along with a green checkmark will appear and then slowly fade away in that same spot.
Regards,
John

Mail won't save info in Subject field in Drafts folder

Hi,
For some reason, Mail won't save what I type into the Subject field for messages in the Drafts folder.
Why?
I can save in any other field for any message in the Drafts folder... This has been going on for awhile, both with Mavericks and Yosemite though it worked earlier with Mavericks.
Cheers,
John L
OSX 10.10.1, MacBook Pro, Mail 8.1.
(Apple hasn't updated the list of OS's yet so it says 10.10 below...)

Sounds like a limit of your ISP, as it's trying to put it back on the mailserver, which may not accept such a large file.

Save the task to a group common folder rather than in Draft folder?

I have created a form with save funtionality. When I open the form in task and claim it from a group, Now, the task is getting is assigned to the user and so when he save the form by clicking the save button in workspace, the task is getting saved in Drafts folder in workspace. Is there any way like we can save the form into the group again or some common folder so that persons of thaat group can access the saved task?

Hi Han,
The "group" assignment won't work when you need specific items tasks to be assigned to individuals. "Someone" in that group needs to pickup the task, alternatively you can pick a random individual in the group.
What it sounds like you need to do is query your LDAP server for a list of individuals in the group and then send task assignments to each of them. Either all at the same time or one after the other.
For the handling of the data, it depends on what people are actually doing with the form but the basic concept is that you would extract data from each of the forms, then place all of the data into a single form. Alternatively, you can extract the data from the forms, then generate separate PDF's (I'm assuming you were using XDPs) and then create a single PDF containing all of the documents using Assembler.
Which version of LC are you using and what's the end-result of your 4 different people? Are they answering the same information or physically seperate pieces of a form?

Problems sending & problems with my Draft folder

What is going on with mail? Ever since I updated to SL, my MB's mail has been acting up. Two things in particular are happening. One, mail doesn't get sent right away. Whether I have a large file with attachments or a small one line file, the 'spinning disk' sits by the Sent folder for 30 seconds to 1 minute. I look at the Activity window (though I don't know what I am looking for) and see that it is doing its 'thing,' whatever that is. My wireless connection is fine; full bars.
The other thing that is happening is I am getting all sorts of messages in my Drafts folder. I recently sent one email to a friend - and he received it - but now I have two copies of the same message in my Draft folder. Prior to logging on the the Discussion Board just now, I checked my email and see I have 15 copies of an email I sent (and it was received) a couple of hours ago. I have a total of 17 files in my Draft folder and 13 of them are the same.
I'm using SL 10.6.1 and Mail 4.1
Any thoughts on what is happening?
Thanks.
Chip

Someone at the Apple Store told me that these so-called drafts are actually just multiple versions of messages I was writing. But now I am up to 1,246 drafts- it is getting a little out of hand.
