Sending email leaves duplicates in the Draft Folder

When I am sending particularly large email messages, the email gets sent, but for some reason a duplicate of the message gets left in the Drafts Folder. So now I have the same email that I had just sent in the Drafts Folder and in the Sent Folder. So then I have to manually trash the message in the Drafts Folder.
This does not seem right. In the past the message in the Drafts folder has always deleted itself as soon as the email has been sent.

The last one that exhibited this behavior contained two photos that added up to 4.6MB.
But the size factor does not seem to enter in since the messages sailed out as they normally do complete with the Zooom sound that is assigned leaving behind the complete message sitting in both the Sent and Drafts folders. This leaves me with the housecleaning task of selecting the message in the Drafts folder and clicking the trash can.
It should be noted that the last time I did this, the deleted message re-appeared the next day in my Trash as a recovered file. It is like the cat that keeps coming back...

  • TS3276 Lion mail;  sent emails show up in the draft folder as well as the sent folder.  Often the draft will appear a day after the email was actually sent

    Lion mail
    Emails that have been Sent show up in the Draft folder as well as th e Sent folder.
    Often they may not show up in Draft folder until the next day.
    Is there a correction for this?

    no,  I only use mac as my incoming and outgoing server.
    What I did was un check the draft box in the mail preferences,
    and will see if that works.  Since I use only the computer for emails
    the cloud isnt being used to its max anyway.
    Thanks taking time to share

  • Emails that get filed in draft folder

      When I am in my in-box with an email open.  I accidentally hit the draft button at the top of the email.  I saw the email get filed in the draft folder, but I don't know where to go to retrieve that email out of drafts.

    If holding the iPad in landscape orientation, then tap your account name in the top left-hand corner and then select the Drafts folder and the email that you've saved within it. If holding the iPad in portrait orientation then tap the Inbox icon in the top left and then do similar.

  • Mail Sending One, but leaves 2 in the Sent folder

    Mail is leaving duplicates in my "Sent" folder when I send anything, even though it only sends one email. I've tried to correct the problem by following the procedure posted below, but it didn't solve the problem.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6668989&#6668989
    I'm looking for other possible solutions.

    The email was sent from my mac.com account and it is not visible also when I access the Sent folder on iCloud.

    When I am writing an email, I get an alert message that says “The message could not be copied or moved to the drafts folder. Writing to the folder failed. To gain disc space, choose Empty Deleted and choose Compact Folders and try again.”
    If I do that, I get a message saying “There was an error copying to the Sent folder,, retry?”
    If I retry it sends the uncompleted email. All I can do is keep deleting the message and carry on. Then the whole business might repeat itself.
    Help!

    Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive.  If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
    You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
    Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
    -Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
    -Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down.  You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
    -Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes.  Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked.  You can close Preferences now.
    -Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library.  iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
    Shouldn't have any more problems...

  • Mail is putting my emails in the draft folder even though they have been sent. What gives?

    Mail is putting my emails in the draft folder and leaving them there even after they have been sent. This is not happening all the time, but enough that it's annoying. What gives? and how do I fix it?

    It happens on both my Mac Air and my iMac. Both are version 10.7.5

  • After hitting send a draft is still saved in the draft folder.

    When responding to an email it automatically saves into the draft folder which is great! However, after hitting send, the email stays in the draft folder. I do hear the "swoosh" sound so I know the email is sent, but I have to go in and delete the emails in the draft folder occassionally. I have received emails back from people even though the message is still in drafts so I know they are being received.

    Is this a Gmail account? I've seen that behavior and the solution has been to turn off the feature of saving drafts to the server (see Mail - Preferences - Accounts - Mailbox Behaviors).

  • Why does email appear in the draft folder after email is sent

    could someone tell me why emails I am sending appear in the draft folder even after the email has been sent and is in the sent folder?

    Do you get draft emails every time your write an email, or do you just have a pesky email in drafts? There's a big difference.
    If it happens every time, it could be that your email isn't being sent to your recipient. If it happened only once, it's just an incomplete email you haven't sent or deleted yet.
    Which is your situation?

  • Mail remaining in the Draft-Folder after sending

    When I write a mail that takes more than 10 minutes, it is automatically saved in the Draft-Folder.
    Then, when it has been sent, it remains in the Draft-Folder.
    If I relaunch the Mail-program, this same mail is twice present in the Draft-Folder (!!!).
    This makes no sense, since the message has been sent.
    Is that any new Bug with Mail and IMAP-protocol?

    I have the same problem.
    When I send an email
    - one copy goes to the draft folder an another copy of the email goes to the sent folder.
    I believe the copy in the draft folder is a ghost.
    I went to my online goggle mail and saw the email was sent.

  • IPhone Deletes eMail message when moving to Draft Folder

    Hi, here's a nice bug.
    I repled to a message, but it failed to send it so it wnet into the Outbox automatically. I came back later and decided to move it to the draft folder. "Poof", the message is instead deleted. Nice feature, Apple.
    Anyone know where to submit bugs - is that the same place you submit suggestions 4 improvement?

    I called apple about this bug a few weeks ago. It is an error with any POP email accounts. You cannot move emails between folders, they dissapear. They are working on the problem they told me.

  • One messege is stuck in the draft folder

    I sent and email the other day and it got to where it needed to go to. The problem is that there is a copy of it stuck in the draft folder. Mail has never done this before, it only did this to this particular messege. I have sent other messeges since with no problem. If I trash the prefs for Mail, what will I have to reset if anything? Will this solve it?
    thanks

    Strange if these messages are re-appearing after deleting the Drafts mailbox for the associated account.
    While composing a message, the message is temporarily saved in account's Drafts mailbox for the selected account to be used for sending the message.
    If you have multiple accounts in Mail and you deleted the Drafts.mbox folder within the appropriate account named folder, the re-appearing messages must be coming from the account's Sent mailbox.
    How many messages are available in this account's Sent mailbox and how often do you use the Rebuild Mailbox function on the Inbox and Sent mailbox for all accounts?

  • Several messages were in the Drafts folder when my isp went off line suddenly and when it came back hours later the draft messages were gone. How do I find them

    I had 8 or 10 messages in the drafts folder. I had Thunderbird open when my isp had equipment problems and suddenly went off line on February 19, 2015. When it came back online the next morning all those drafts were gone. Is there some way I can retrieve them? If so, please send directions on how to do it. Thank you for any help you can give me.

    The top folder was Local Folders with Inbox, Sent Mail, Drafts, Trash and Archives under it. I had several messages in Archives and they went away when the Drafts messages went. Actually the only folder that wasn't emptied was the inbox. Those messages re-downloaded from the web mail.
    What I understand from what you've written is that unless something was done when the mail account was set up, all my mail was on att/yahoo mail and they're the ones that lost my drafts.
    If I'm wrong about it being an IMAP account and it was really POP, would that make a difference?

  • Sending email via Gmail causes the file to be stored in two Sent folders

    Hi there,
    I've just set up Mac Mail to synchronise my Gmail account via IMAP and all is well except: when I send an email it appears in the "Sent" folder of my regular account AND the "Sent" folder of Gmail. How can this be? When I send the email, it is sent using my Gmail address, so I would have thought that the message would have been routed just to my Gmail sent folder... not to my regular sent folder as well.
    Thoughts?
    Cheers,

    I'm having the same problem on a home PC running Windows 7 64-bit SP1 and Office 2010 but I'm not running Norton.  Started with one of dozen or so .PST files I have for various accounts.  The first "...the file so that..." folder has no properties
    and I couldn't delete it.  Subsequent "...the file so that..." (those with .1 and .2, etc) I could delete.  Thought I had the problem solved by simply creating a new .PST file and moving all my mail from the affected. PST file and closing the affected
    one.  That worked for a couple of days but I notice this morning I have the same thing in a completely different .PST file.
    Again, I don't use Norton and have been using the same add-ins for quite some time but this just started in the last couple of weeks.

  • Sending email to user using the notification template in OIM 11g

    Hi all
    I have created a Notification Template using web console in OIM 11g.
    Iam able to access the contents from notification template in my java code.
    But iam not able to find the correct api's to send email to user using the notification template
    (like tcEmailNotificationUtil using this class we can connect to email template created in design console and creating IT resourse we can send email to user using the method sendEmail).
    Waiting for your help and pointers
    Thanks and Regards
    Bipin patil

    Thanks GP!.
    But i have the same doubt here.
    "The Notification Event is defined through a XML file that must be loaded into MDS database." - in which path and in what name it should be.
    Because under /metadata/iam-features-notification, i couldnt see any event Xml present. I thought atleast we could see the existing OOB notification template's event xml files.
    Please let me know if you are aware.
    Thanks,
