Email Being Sent Instead Of Being Saved As Draft

Missing a draft email i saved?

Yahoo! Mail Classic now saves the message you’re working on (in Drafts) so you don't lose it in the event of a power outage, connection interruption or computer problem. And as always, you can save the most recent version by clicking Save Draft. Once you click Send to send the message, the draft is deleted from Drafts. To review it after that, just look in Sent! Hope this helps!!!

What does save draft mean in a email?

Hi. A draft is an email that you are working on, that is not ready to send. It may be something like a long important letter you are writing to someone, and you want to make sure it is worded perfectly prior to sending. A draft can stay on your PC until you either send it or delete it.

If you did happen to click on the Send button, then the email will no longer appear in your Draft folder. Also, if you Cc yourself, then you would have also received the exact same email, which you sent to Aftermathmusic.

Hope that helps.

In Gmail, are email drafts saved on your drive, or the servers?

All temporary stuff will be saved at Gmail server. Noted that whilst you are not connected internet, you cannon use/open up Gmail as well.By the way, in contrast, in the case of google doc or google sheet drafting, their drafts are saved both at server and your PC space. Even though you are offline, you are still able to create/edit the document through web browser. It will be then updated immediately as soon as you online.

Mail not being saved to sent folder

Yahoo upgraded classic mail to "new" classic mail a few weeks ago. Many people have been experiencing different kinds of problems since the switch. Here's a chart outlining the changes.

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/cl... >classic mail changes

One of the changes is "auto-save to draft". That means as you compose an email a copy of the email is automatically saved in the draft folder every few minutes. When you send the email the draft copy is *supposed* to be deleted and a copy put in the sent folder. I suspect this is why you're not getting a saved copy in your sent folder.... no matter what Yahoo says.

This might work for you and get copies of emails saved in the sent folder. First, disable the "Save a copy of the message in the Sent folder" option.
1. Click Options in the upper-right corner of your Yahoo! Mail page.
2. At the top of the list on the left side of the page, click General.
3. Un-check the box next to "Save a copy of the message in the Sent folder".
4. Click Save Changes above the options area.
5. Restart computer to make sure change takes effect.

Next clear your browser cache of old cookies, temp files, and history. They can keep returning you to a non-working website or web page. This article from Boston University explains how. Select your operating system logo and then your browser.

Now re-enable the "save to sent folder" option and restart your computer.

Why is gmail sending my draft emails?

One relatively common problem people have with Mail is that the program will seem to collect messages in its Drafts mailbox. While not an intrusive issue, and definitely one that can be fixed by deleting the messages in this mailbox, some people have found the drafts are continually and permanently saved every time they compose new messages.The way Mail handles draft messages is that a local draft folder is created on your computer where these messages are automatically saved when you start composing. If you do not save them directly they will stay there until the message is either sent, or discarded without being saved. If you do purposefully save them, they will be removed either upon being sent, or otherwise only if you remove them manually.If you use IMAP e-mail accounts, Mail may automatically enable the option to save a copy of these draft messages in a corresponding drafts folder on the IMAP server. Any changes to the local drafts folder will be synchronized to the server so you can access your drafts from alternate e-mail clients such as Webmail, another computer, or a mobile device.This problem happens for IMAP accounts, and seems to happen when people have Mail store draft messages on the server. Any time the messages are stored on the server, they need to be synchronized with the local mailboxes, and synchronization errors or server-side modifications to the e-mail messages (antivirus scanning, marking, spam filtering, or other rules) can prevent this from happening.Disable server draft mailboxesThe solution is to only use a local copy of your drafts and other messages, and thereby prevent any errors with the server from resulting in draft message propagation. While storing draft e-mails on the server is useful if you wish to continue composing e-mails in different locations, if you do not use this feature then it will be of no use to have it enabled. To disable it, go to Mail's preferences, select your e-mail account, go to the "Mailbox Behaviors" tab, and uncheck the option to store draft messages on the server. Do this for each IMAP account you have, and then after manually deleting any previously stored drafts, you should be good to go.

Gmail: How do I retrieve Gmail drafts?

Not sure if this is possible, but I know you can retrieve emails after you click send by canceling them with “Undo Send”.MailTag made a video tutorial on this -

How do I retrieve a draft mail saved previously but after opening it I discarded it accidentally in gmail?

You can only retrieve a deleted draft by pressing z or clicking at undo discard just after you have deleted it.Somehow try your luck by looking and applying point no 4 on this link.Be alert next time and if you have done mistakenly than remember to press z or click at the undo discard pop-up for saving your precious data.Thanks.

Gmail. Sent email, copy left in Draft folder... email sent?

A copy is left in the Drafts folder because you most likely took some time to write the email and a draft was automatically saved. If you don't send the email, it will remain as a Draft. In other words, as long as you see an email in Draft form it means it has NOT been sent by Gmail.

If you see an email in your Sent folder, it means it HAS been sent. If it was in Draft form before, that draft is now gone. However it does not mean it arrived at its destination as many things can happen along the way, including problems at the other end of the 'line' such as a full Inbox making it such the recipient won't get your email - but in most cases you should get a warning message this happened.

Where is the save as draft button?

Sometimes the new Yahoo Mail will offer to save a draft after you click the X and other times it won't and you lose all your work. I had a critical business document that I had to reply to and wasn't ready to send and I lost over an hour's work. Even though I saw it auto-save, once I X'd it out, the entire draft disappeared.

Yahoo keeps trying to improve its business -- why don't they just go back to the Yahoo of 2000 (customizable home page; customizable news sources; customizable weather; customizable stocks; customizable airfares; a wonderful classic e-mail that NOBODY wanted to lose; lots of existing and user-created chat rooms; etc., etc., etc.) instead of chasing us away with their "improvements?"

And, Yahoo, next time you force a universal change on all of us, update your Help sections first, so we aren't reading instructions from previous versions of your offerings while we flail around trying to figure out how to send a simple message.
