Mac :: Mail In Draft Box When It Did Actually Go Out Ok?
Dec 19, 2009
I have a strange one here. When I am using my Apple Mail program, It goes out ok, but still appears in my draft box. Not every mail does it , however a lot them do. How do I know they are going out? I am talking to the person I am sending something to, and they said they got it fine. But I look in my drafts box and there it sits. Right now I have 3 in there that I sent today. This is happening with my .mac account. Any ideas before I call Apple Support?
For the last week I find that after sending an email with attachments that it remains in my draft box after sending. The mail shows up in the sent box, but it never get's deleted from the draft box until I resend it. This is happening on both my MBP and iMac. Both machines connect to iCloud for mail.
How do I turn this feature off? If I have a message in the middle of being composed, and click Get Mail, off the draft message goes whether I'm ready to send this or not. This is an old issue, and generally I just try to remember not to check mail when I have a message in progress. But I can't find a screen anywhere in Mail Prefs to turn this feature off. In other words, I only want mail to send messages when I the Send paper airplane icon, not in response to my checking incoming messages. I'm running OS 10.5.8 and Mail v. 3.6 (936).
im running leopard and its showing 1 draft that never got sent (that i wrote when i was on tiger). whenever i hit delete on the message, it turns grey but doesnt actually remove itself and i still have the little 1 badge to the right of the draft mailbox on the left. i went into my ~/Library/Mail/email account/Drafts/Mailbox and deleted the message but its still showing in Mail and its driving me insane. Does anyone know how to get this damn thing to disappear? ive repaired permissions but im just lost right now.
I have several drafts in my draft box, but cannot get to them. When I select the box, nothing shows up. It says there are 32 in there. This has been going on for a few weeks, so its nothing new, just that I need to get to a couple of those drafts to find info I was going to send to customers.
I've tried rebuilding, but it won't let me select that. I've tried reading the posts, but haven't found anything that matches what is going on with my problem.
I'm using a powerbook g4 with leopard, current on updates. Thanks for any help.
I currently have an issue with Mail 5.2 in which mail I compose and send is placed in the drafts folder and not sent. I have spent hours on the phone with my ISP and have been unable to resolve the issue. ISP has told me all settings are correct. I can receive e-mail on the account I just can't seem to get it to send. Checked my router (Time Capsule) and all ports are fine. I am also running my own mail server on Lion Server. The Lion server account is IMAP and sends/recieves e-mail no problem. My ISP account is POP and uses no authentication.
I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite. Now in mac mail when I have duplicate drafts I am not able to expand them. In one of my folders I have 2 email drafts, but it says that I have 16.
Before updating to Yosemite I was able to see how many nested copies of each draft, and was able to expand them to select/edit them individually. Now I cannot see which of these drafts have been copied, and expand them.Â

I am using Apple Mail, and ive just compiled an email containing a lot of text and some photos, Then I saved it as a Draft , when I try to open the Draft I get these messages . All my other drafts open OK , Is there any way to retrieve this email draft ..? Thanks
I had approximately 15 draft emails. They were stored on computer, i.e. the setting "Store draft messages on server" was NOT checked. I re-used those messages often in my business. I am on Mail version 5.2 (1257) and Lion 10/7
Suddenly the whole folder disappeared.
None of the draft messages are in my email account on the server - and they are all gone (deleted?) from on the computer. In other words, I currently see none of my long and quite important Drafts anywhere.Is there any other way to find these drafts and bring them back?

If I create an email that is saved as a draft while I'm still writing the email, when it finally sends Mail doesn't delete the email from the drafts folder.
I only use MobileMe in Mail, so I'm not sure if this is a problem with MobileMe or with Mail. It happens periodically on both my MacBook and iMac.
Mail saves multiple draft copies of the same email. Every few seconds, a new draft is saved, displaying a few more words. How can I prevent this from happening?
whenever i print there is no option to show to do a fast draft...any way around this? i have a macbook and a hp deskjet 3845...i installed the disk for it as well...
i just dont want all my printings to be taking up all my ink
I am running OS 10.5.4. The problem is with Apple email.
I have one draft message that refuses to be deleted. When I highlight it and hit delete, it just turns grey and does not delete. I can add new drafts and delete them just fine. any ideas? I have tried clearing the user cache to no avail.
I cannot tell if this question has gone through, so please forgive the repeats. Simply put: I want to retrieve a draft email I had deleted by mistake. Please give me direction as I have tried using a few applications today, such as DevonthinkPro, and could not find any indication of drafts, just sent or inbox emails.
When I send an email, why does it also show up in my "Drafts" mailbox?Is there a setting in my preferences that needs to be changed to prevent this from happeing?
I'm running a Belkin N-draft router (F5D8633) as my wireless access point. My iMac is connecting fine to it. I'm just wondering is there any way to know if it's connecting using a 802.11n draft connection or 802.11a/b/g. I know this can be done in windows but I'm new to the world of Mac.
Running mail with 2 email accounts, one old one that I could still receive emails from but not send any; the other is the main email that I use. I deleted the old account then could not send any emails. I spoke to my ISP and have fixed the sending problem, but now I seem to have lost a heap of emails, possibly all the ones that had been sent to the old account but also a long one that my wife had just written that was in drafts as it was unable to send. Essentially we want to recover the emails we received, and the one that was in drafts.
I just got started in printing coupons from the internet. I had to download a coupon printer for them to print. The problem I've had is that they all print in color and I need them to print in draft mode, black and white. I haven't been able to change that in Safari, even though I changed my prining preferences there. Does anyone have experience doing this that can tell me how to correct it?
I installed Lion and now I can no longer use Word and Final Draft? I had no idea these things would "no longer be supported". I read up on the upgrade and saw nothing on this. I didn't back up recently..
I didn't realize final draft had autosave disabled by default. Long story short, the program crashed, my work along with it. I didn't save the work. It was not auto saved. Would like to recover the work if possible.
the draft app pops open when I try to "test system" and it just sits there saying "connecting to server". I can't figure out what is causing the problem. It never times out or anything. I have upgraded Java and Safari and have even tried Firefox, but it still doesn't work.
