Sent Emails, a copy remains in Drafts

Hi ALL, i have noticed recently that on the odd occasion some of the emails I send, although i can see them in the Sent folder so i know they have gone, a copy remains in the Drafts folder.
Does anybody, anywhere, know why this would happen ?, for a whie a was sending it again, thining it hadnt been sent, so everyone was getting two copies of everything, my recipients thought i was MAD !!!!!
Please, but i aint MAD !

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

Problem with replies in Maverick's mail. Originating emails send fine. When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent. Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc. Any suggestions would be helpful

I don't know how rare this is. I went a week or so without a problem, and now it's starting to recur. Also, in some instances, an email will look unsent (remain in the outbox on the Treo), but it has been sent, and recipients are replying while I'm trying to figure out what is going on. Further, it will send the same email over and over during this madness.
This is a show stopper. If there isn't a software fix soon, I may chuck this phone in the garbage.
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)
UPDATE: The problem comes and goes. The next day, no changes to the treo, everything workeds. Now i'm suspecting the sprint server, and how it/the phone responds from failing to send while roaming. I've since turned off roaming, and haven't had a problem for several days.

Mail is putting multiple copies of sent emails in my drafts folder, or in trash.

Mail is putting copies of emails successfully sent in my drafts folder, sometimes multiple copies, sometimes in trash.
Also, new email keeps entering my inbox after I've moved it to other mailboxes or to the trash or junk mail. Also, if I search for a name to which I have sent or from which I have received an email, the results shows a copy of each mail in all these mailboxes: Important, All Mail, Sent Mail, Sent G-Mail. This is a recent phenomenon. For every sent email I get 5 copies in my trash box.

I phoned up Appe Support yesterday and i discovered that SOME (not all) of my trouble was caused by my 2 Gmail accounts, which werent correctly designated as Gmail Server WITH the correct password, it was set to use the server from one of my other accounts.
I do still have another problem which doesnt go away, i open Mail normally and there is ghost Open Window, which cannot be opened, to view my Mail i have to open a NEW viewer window, even though there is a Window open all ready, the Ghost window !

Sent emails and draft folder

Dear sir/Madam,
Sent emails are being saved in my draft folder.
Everytime i send an email, the same is being saved in the draft folder.
Its very annoying : ( . Please help?
Thank you,
Mohaned

I have about one or two drafts per month that are "stuck" in the folder and must be deleted manually, and I'm on 10Mbit/s and pretty stable, but the mail server is playing its own role as well. Sometimes it just happens.
BTW, under Mailbox Behaviors in the account's preferences in Mail, make sure that "Store draft messages on the server" is unchecked. It seems to me that when it's enabled, the "delete" command in case of a new draft version or once sent makes it even less often through, eventually leading to a few more drafts remaining there - at least with my server. Could be just my "notion" but if it's okay with you to have drafts only locally and not e.g. synced with other devices or "backed up" on the server, then it won't hurt.

Is it possible to save drafts of commonly sent email letters?

I have several form letters I need to keep for regular use. Right now I'm copy pasting from previous sent emails but I'm sure there must be a way of saving them somehow.
Is there a way to do this in Mail?

you can save them as stationery. while composing a new message go to file menu->save as stationery. to use it, start a new message and click on "show stationery" in the toolbar. the one you made will be in the custom stationery section.

If email message is in sent mail as well as in draft mailbox is it a duplicate or do I need to send it agin to make sure it went through

if email message is in sent mailbox and also in draft mailbox is it a duplicate that happned by mistake or do i nee to send it agin to make sure it went through?

I've seen emails get stuck in the Drafts mailbox even after they have been sent. Check in the Sent mailbox to see if it has really gone out. If not, send it again. If so, delete it from the Drafts mailbox.
Best of luck.

TS3276 sent emails are in draft

Bear with me I am new to the community and not particularily tech saavy. On occassion copies of sent emails are finding their way into my Draft folder. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help.

You're welcome
I forgot to mention to to that in Mail's preferences, but I guess you figured that out.

How do i leave a copy off sent emails on the server with mac mail

How do i leave a copy off sent emails on the server with mac mail.
Pop account

Check your mail preferences. The example below is from the mail app that comes with mac. In my case I'm using yahoo mail which is a POP3 account. POP stands for post office protocol which is the set of rules used by a POP mail account to transfer mail. You can learn more about it here if interested. If the box below is checked, all the mail will be downloaded to your computer when you check your mail using the built in mail app and removed from the mail server. Here is another page to help you set up your hotmail account for use the the mac mail application. Hope this clears things up.

Copy of Sent Email

Hi,
Why is Z10 unlike previous blackberry handsets I have been using since 8 years dont send me a copy of my sent email?
How can I enable that?
Blackberry is my business need, and I operate my emails on both laptop and blackberry. How can I follow up on a sent email from my laptop if I dont have a copy of it with me over there?
PLEASE HELP URGENTLY.

First what kind of server are you connected to for your email(s), POP, IMAP, or Exchange Acitve Sync (EAS)
The reason why the new BB10 device are not working like the previous generations of BlackBerry device, is because the BB10 device are not using BIS any more, and are now working directly on the server, what this mean is that there is no message(s) that are stored on the device itself, everything is being acted on at the server.
If you use a IMAP or EAS server, most likely the serverhas a copy of your sent email(s) in folder on the server (usually called sent or sent item), and you can also configure most server to keep a copy of the sent email, and some can even be confirgure to do a CC to any email adress you want.
For the POP server that is more tricky because ir is older technology, and therefore less flexible

I have a sent email (I confirmed it was sent) and it keeps coming back to my Draft folder. How can I make it stop?

I have a sent email (I confirmed it was sent) and it keeps coming back to my Draft folder, even when I delete it. How can I make it stop? I use OS X, version 10.0.4 and the Mail application.

Select the Drafts folder.
Under Mailbox in the Menu bar select Rebuild (last option)

IPhoto '11 does not save a copy of your sent emails in your email program.

I sent an email today through iPhoto and was very disappointed that it did not put a copy of my sent mail in my Mac Mail program. This is not good for me as I often refer to my sent mails.
Is there a work around for this?

Annabelle's answer is correct but to clarify:
you need to select one of photos you sent
press info button on right bottom corner
now opens a right-side panel where in sharing area you can see the email header, click that to get to the sent email
thanks

READING SENT EMAIL AND RETRIEVING DRAFTS

Hello; another newby here........
I live in the US, have done so for 3 years, and have never had a problem with BT Yahoo Email. Thats all I use BT for. Obviously my BB provider is NOT BT, it is a local company, but this is clearly not a BB issue. I pay BT a very small monthly subscription for email service.
Using my laptop, I am receiving emails as normal. I can send emails as normal. And my corrrespondents are receiving them. But I cannot open any emails in my sent box. I also cannot retrieve half written draft emails. I can see my sent emails on my smart phone. So, something has gone wrong in my laptops settings. I have not consciously made any changes to my laptop. When I try to open emails from my sent box, a message appears on the right in a box under the heading ADBVERTISMENT and it reads exactly this:
document write ("smart tag Error: malformed URL - st_rejected_query");
Can anybody offer any advise as to what may have happened? Like so many on here, I am not PC savvy, so it may be glaringly obvious. Thanks in advance for your tips.
Peter

Its one of a number of Yahoo issues and there is very little BT Retail ISP can do about it.
As your ISP is not BT, all you can do is complain to Yahoo directly.
You may get some idea of the outstanding problems if you read some of the forum messages.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

When i send an email an copy is saved to drafts why

when i send an email an copy is saved to drafts why

No this is not the problem. The bcc option was set to off, yet still I got copied. That was when I discovered that some off my mail setting on/off buttons do not slide, as I then slid the bcc option to On, and now it will not slide back again.

Sent emails, I would like to auto-copy myself. I could with former blackberry

How do I program my sent email to auto copy myself?

There is no setting for this on the handset. With BBOS on BIS this could be set in BIS for a given email account, but there is nothing comparable for BB10.
