Re: [Dovecot] dead bodies stacking up in Drafts folder

Hi,

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".

I can of course periodically select and delete them, but I don't like
such glitches. Never sure if emails are really sent.

Apple Mail will auto-save messages to the drafts folder if you idle too long while composing. This could also happen if the computer goes to sleep. I know of no way to disable this. However, there is an option in the preferences on the accounts tab under mailbox behaviors to save it to the server, you could disable that.
