How to retrieve a draft email got deleted by accident?
Is Yahoo reading this? I can't tell you how many times this happened to me. Hours after typing, I hit I don't know WHAT KEY, and it is all gone. This is maddening. I don't know if it will save if there is something in the title and a real recipient. Why don't they fix this stupid thing. How about putting in a SAVE key for drafts so that at least you are sure it is saved. The old yahoo was better. So this I lost 6 hours of work...I should have known as this happens all the time...it seems I should do it on word and then paste it. The emails disappeared all by hitting a key...what key do I hit...it could be any key at all, enter, shift...wake up yahoo and fix this.
Email going directly to draft folder?
Actually it is a bug that may be causing this. (not a virus, just a bug with the software). Backup your mail if you use a personal folder, then uninstall office. Go to the registry and delete all instances of office under HKLM, Software, Microsoft. After doing this, restart the computer, and install office again. Then set up your outlook back to how you had it before and bring back in your personal folder. This should clear up that issue. Their could be a rule, but a lot of times there are no rules set up in outlook, and many people never heard of them. This eventually leaves the only option to have the office reinstalled. However, if this does not work, you will have to contact your email provider and have them recreate your account for that the email server that has your account has set a rule accidentally that is causing this.
How do I open my drafts folder?
Put your cursor on the word Drafts...and click on it. One thing to remmeber is that when you open it, and send something you've written...the first one won't go away. So, if you don't want to think you later have NOT sent it...delete it so you won't be confused. I love the drafts folder, bcz I can write something and save it to drafts, and I won't lose it...(you know how you lose something you've written and get all hissy about it---it won't happen if you save it to drafts when you're part way done...it's easier than saving it to WORD or something 'offline'.) It's a feature that you'll come to enjoy...play with it...use it....I guarantee you'll like it eventually.
WHY DO MY EMAILS GO TO MY DRAFT FOLDER BEFORE I CAN SEND IT?
When sending email I'm not clicking save, I am 100% sure that I am clicking 'send', but email is still saved to draft folder anyway any prematurely, before I can even finish. I just recently started having this problem maybe a couple of months ago. After 10 maybe 15 minutes of composing email it automatically saves in draft Without my clicking to 'save' and I'm not aware of it until I try to send it. I check it in draft and it's incomplete, which is why I'm having to copy and paste so that I don't have to re-type the entire original copy. I am 'Sending' but it's doing some kind of premature 'save' in draft and won't allow me to send the original because it's like it's searching and can't find what I'm trying to send. Can anyone help?
Why are my messages going into the drafts folder without my putting them in there?
I have a similar problem, except the message is sent and also goes into the draft folder. Since the message has already been sent, I click on the draft folder and when it comes up, I delete it. I don't know how to stop the message sent from also going into the draft folder either. It just started about a week ago, so I am wondering if Windows had anything to do with it. It would have been nice to get a notice about it and have the option to select it or not. It is nothing but a nuisance. In your case, also check the sent folder to see if it had been sent before going into the draft folder. Sorry I can't be of more help.
Accidently deleted text from a lengthy email. Can I recover this without retyping?
Since we are talking now about something that happened a day or more ago, the first answer is No, Sorry. However, if you come across the situation again in the future, try using either CTRL + Z or ALT +Z immediately, the Un-do command. It has to be the very first thing you do - I believe that even hitting the escape key will prevent you from doing the UnDo command. On a somewhat related topic, I have found that lately, yahoo mail has been acting strangely and bring text into a draft email from another email. I have yet to understand the pattern, but in any event I am comfortable advising you to manually hit "save draft" as often as you can, because the auto-save draft feature in yahoo is completely insufficient and in fact may contain bugs.
I have spam in my drafts folder?
Sounds like your E-mail account has been compromised, or you picked up a virus. Immediately have your computer checked for a 'bug' or 'bugs.' If you have the proper programs, do the scans yourself, if not you need to take your computer to some one who can. Once it is clean of pests, install a firewall and an anti-virus program if you do not have one yet. I strongly recommend a program for malware and adware also. After you finish this, then go in and change your password, using a good strong one. Also, check your account information and make sure no information was changed, if it was change it back immediately. Then, you will have to inform your contacts that it was not you sending that mail, but they need to check their computers in case they were also infected.
Not that I know of.The thing to figure out is why is it lost? Was it deleted? Was it sent? Was it moved by accident? Did it just disappear from your ��drafts’ folder?If you are worried about it happening again, you can always compose a message to yourself, that way, if you accidentally hit send, there will be one in your inbox, and one in your sent (if you have turned on the feature to keep sent messages). You can then pick up the message from either place, and forward it to the person you really wish to send it to.
Draft emails in yahoo mail?
I have just replied to an email (using the classic, old version of yahoo mail). I did this by clicking reply when reading the message. However, once I had composed my message, I clicked save as draft rather than sending it as I wanted to check it over. I checked it over another time and saved as draft again. I now had two draft messages in my draft folder, which is fine. I then went to the last one and hit send. A copy of the message went to the sent folder. My question is, has it really sent because the email I replying to in my inbox has no little reply arrow next to it? I'm am anxious as it is for a job application. I don't want to send it twice by mistake as this will look stupid but then again I want to be sure that they got my reply! Anyone had any experience here?
How do i recover my deleted files from my draft inbox?
If you are quick enough (I will be away from my computer in about 15 hours for two weeks). Please add answers to the following. Operating system - Program you use for email - be exact You have identified three folders in an mailbox - in which one were the emails your deleted? Inbox, Drafts or Deleted Items? Mail cannot be recovered from the Recycle Bin; but it is possible that Recover Previous versions is turned on in the O/S (WinXP, Vista) in which case you can recover the whole mailbox at a previous state, in full. Depends how big the mailbox file is, how many other files have been changed, and how much disk space is allocated to Previous Versions, as you may have run out of space - it all depends. If you have Windows 2000, then Previous Versions is not available. Have a good think and then write your question as additional information after thinking about the questions I have posed for you. EDIT - 3 hours to departure time. When I answered this question, it was new, and I did not search through the Yahoo!7 Mail (Australian, BTW) to find it - consequently, much of my answer is irrelevant. My response is 100% correct for client email packages (outlook, for example) - Yahoo mail is generally not used this way, which makes the two answers above mine wrong as well - Thanks for the thumbs down, NOT
