Why are messages in Mail continuing to be saved in Drafts after they are sent?

Hi Friends,
Messages that i do not indicate to be saved as a draft are being saved in my Drafts folder long after they've been sent. when i notice that 8 or 10 messages are in the Drafts folder, i then search in my Sent folder to be sure my email(s) was/were sent. and sure enough, they were sent successfully. yet there the copies are, sitting in my Drafts folder as well. any one else with this peculiarity or perhaps the solution?
many thanks!
beth

Hi Paul,
thank you. you know, i did find that on my own but problem is, when i deselect that option, then none of my messages is saved as a draft even when i want it to be. the option to save as draft is gone. and i do, actually, begin messages for certain business things and songwriting, wish to save as drafts, then reopen, edit and complete and send later.
so unfortunately it doesn't help me to deselect that option.
and then still... messages i have no need or intention for saving as drafts are also saved. just randomly, but often enough that it's a strange pattern.
thanks again!
beth

    I used Match, and now there are artists missing when I search by artist, yet they are in my library when I search by song. If they are in many song list,  why aren't they in my artist list? Also I can't sort my songs list by artist on iPhone,  so their music is basically lost in space....help

    It's not clear from your post, but you do realise
    that if you import a cd as a compilation, it will not
    appear under artists? This is done to save the iPod
    being cluttered up with single artists entries who
    might have only one song listed.
    I wasn't aware of that. It's true that I haven't been using the "compilation" tag for a long time. I've only started using it with iTunes 7 as otherwise with Coverflow I would have one album cover for each artist in a compilation. Before that my compilations weren't tagged as such as that is quite probably why each artist from compilations showed up when browsing by artists.

  • Why does iPhoto keep asking me to confirm faces after they are already confirmed?

    Why does iPhoto keep asking me to confirm faces after they are already confirmed?
    Once it searches for photos containing (insert name) and says "(insert name) maybe found in 1,750 photos". I click to confirm the said person and it highlights the photos already found in that persons "folder", which already contains 662 photos AND it does not show any of the unconfirmed photos. However, it told me that it found 1,750 photos....where are the missing unconfirmed pictures for me to tag? I have already rebuilt my thumbnails (which already took 3 days to do as I have MANY photos).

  • Why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal

    why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal.

    Not sure of what? In your second response you said the issue was with airplay. You were also having issues connecting laptop to computer, which points to a laptop connectivity issue. I simply asked if home sharing was an issue as well, since that will confirm the laptop as the cause. Your response that home sharing is on doesn't really help since that doesn't itself have a bearing on airplay nor does it answer the question in regards to if home sharing is working on Apple TV
    If you have a further question you will need to be specific.

  • Hi, messages still appear in iPhone search even after they are deleted from iPhone.

    Hi, messages still appear in iPhone search even after they are deleted from iPhone.

    Yes and as long as you are signed into iCloud - you can even use that phone to iMessage
    The messages stay on there until you wipe / erase / restore your old phone

  • Why do all of my incoming calls on my iPhone 5c say they are from unknown, even though I have the person calling already in my contacts?

    why do all of my incoming calls on my iPhone 5c say they are from unknown, even though I have the person calling already in my contacts?

    Caller ID can also be turned off on some networks e.g. iOS has a setting for UK phones to turn it off. You should try calling from a number you know is not blocked from sending the caller ID.

  • Missing Read Emails in Inbox after they are a few days old?

    I recently hooked up my AOL IMAP email account to work with Apple Mail. I think i set it up properly as it seems to have been working fine sending & receiving for the past week. However I am now noticing now that the read emails left in my inbox to follow up on are in fact disappearing from the inbox & the entire email application after they are aprox. 2-3 days old. Is there a way to stop that from happening?

    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Mail 2.0.7

    An AOL email account must be created as an IMAP type account with the Mail.app or with any other email client such as the Mail.app.
    An IMAP type account's Inbox mailbox in Mail and with other email clients is synchronized with the server. There is no setting in Mail to automatically remove messages from the server for the Inbox mailbox for an IMAP type account.
    This is done by AOL. You can check with AOL but I don't believe there is an available setting at the server to prevent this from occurring when accessing the account with an email client such as the Mail.app.
    To avoid this, create and utilize a user created "On My Mac" location mailbox or mailboxes which are stored locally on the hard drive. When moving a received message from the Inbox mailbox for an IMAP type account to a user created "On My Mac" location mailbox, the transferred message is stored locally on the hard drive and is also removed from the server at the same time.
    This will prevent losing any received messages before AOL automatically purges the account's Inbox mailbox at the server after a designated period of time.

  • Style presets, swatches, etc. uneditable after they are created?

    Why are style presets, swatches, etc. uneditable after you create them? A preset is simply a collection of style or colour settings so why can't I click on it, or choose "edit", or bring up the presets manager, to open the fx or colour dialogue to tweak it? Why do I have to manually create a new instance of the preset and delete the old one? Ideally I should be able to tweak a style and have every element that has that style applied to it change without having to manually reapply a new preset. Talk about tedious.
    Please correct me if I am mistaken and am just missing something obvious. I would love to be wrong on this one. This is killing me.

    The style preset is a known object.  That specific object can be referenced by an action or script.   If you could change the object, then the result of the action or script will be different on different systems, and at different times, depending on your whims in changing the style preset.
    What you edit on the LAYER is not a preset - those are live values.
    But the preset is fixed after creation, so you can reliably reuse those values.
    Yes, there are many reasons that presets should not be editable.
    Yes, they are not always obvious, but I'm trying to give you the basics.
    An analogy: I have a specific set of font outlines that I like, and I saved it as Myriad Pro.  Now I can use Myriad Pro, pass around documents that use Myriad Pro and keep those documents editable while knowing that everyone will see the same shapes I saved.   If anyone could change Myriad Pro at any time, then I could never be sure that everyone was looking at the same shapes when using my font (which might no longer be my font).  Also, if it's too easy to change (ie: all changes made after selecting it are saved), then people would constantly be changing it, probably without even realizing their mistake.

  • Covert file types After they are in library?

    I imported a couple audiophile gradeCD's and went completely loss-less. File sizes are massive of course, so now I want to convert them to 256k apple loss-less files.
    How do I do this After they are already in iTunes?
    I checked every menu apple offers, I can't find any way to change the file type unless I delete the files and put them back on the hard drive using the file type I want.
    I'm no mac pro yet, only switched solely to mac less than 2 months ago. Help?

    Just change your Import setting to whatever format you want to convert them to and select the option to Convert selection to xxxx. This used to be available by right-clicking the track, but I believe it is now under the Advanced menu (within the main iTunes interface).
    This will create a second file in the new format; you can then trash the huge file.
    And there's more info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1550

    Greetings;
    This seems to an ongoing issue (see related discussion link).  We've been experiencing the same update lag since last Friday.  The new additions to the Collection appear and are accessible in both the iPad and iPhone applications, but even though they additions appear in "Quick View", the material doesn't appear in the Collection itself.  Apple is aware of the issue and is investigating.  All the best...
