Setup : Apple Mail 2.1.1 (752.3) on Intel MacBook Pro and Dovecot 1.0rc22 on Solaris 9/SPARC. I use IMAP/TLS.
Problem : mails are stacking up in the Drafts folder.
When I start writing a mail, it appears in the drafts folder, and usually disappear as desired when I hit "Send". It then appear in the "Sent" folder.
Sometimes, a draft versions stays in "Drafts", I have 21 of them since 1.1.2007. In this period, I have written about 400 emails, so only about 5 % stick in "Drafts".
For what its worth - I have had this problem ever since I started using IMAP... we had it when we used Courier-imap, and we have it using dovecot (both on linux, using Thunderbird for the client)... It is kind of irritating, but I kind of got used to it, and tell people to just delete these on a regular basis...
Not that I wouldn't like to see this problem fixed... ;)
