Windows 10: No Drafts Folder in Windows Mail

I sent feedback to MS about this 6 months ago. At that time, Mail had just received an update. After that update the Drafts folder was gone. If I start writing an email and click to somewhere else in the app, that email is gone. There is no way to get back to it.
Since that feedback I posted 6 months ago, I have even formatted my PC and reinstalled everything. So, there's not way it's just some problem with the app install. This is a bug.

I have tried to "favorite" the Drafts folder on my Gmail account via IMAP, but that is not where Mail saves drafts. There's nothing in there.


Where's the Drafts folder?

Mail app issues - whenever I click on Drafts folders to delete the draft Windows 10 Mail App closes.

So the answer is ridiculously simple. If anyone else also stumbles across this, this worked at least for me.

• Create a new email to yourself but don't send it! This will then show as another saved draft in that Draft Folder, but it'll be an uncorrupted one, or whatever is the problem with the other draft that's undeletable and causing the Mail
  App to crash.
• Close the Mail App and go get a cup of coffee.
• Open the Mail App again. Click on the Draft Folder, and now that it contains a
  good draft in it also, the folder will stay open and not crash. Simply right click on the offending draft and select delete.

Since it's incomprehensible to assume that the original poster could
even possibly solve his/her own problem, could a Moderator mark this as solved and as the solution?

 

Draft Folder Alignment in Mail app Windows 10.

Original Title: Draft Folder Alignment

I configured a mail file through Microsoft mail through IMAP and it created a new DRAFT folder so that my drafts don't sync to the IMAP draft folder used by the browser mail client and iPhone mail client. Is there a way to map the correct IMAP folder
in Microsoft Mail or does the application not consider this a valid folder for IMAP sync.

 

lost draft

Hi Lenore,

If an item is deleted, it'll be moved to the Deleted Items folder. Check if your missing draft is there by following these steps:

• Open the Mail app.
• Under the Folders section on the left, click More.
• Click Deleted Items.
• Once you see the draft you're looking for, double-click it start editing it again.
• Click Send once you're done.

Let if know if you have any other concerns about the Mail app.
