Windows 10: Windows Live email does not save changes in a draft email.

Looks like this has been a problem for years now.On my laptop Windows 10, I keep a draft email for my grocery list. I email it to myself when I'm going shopping. I access this DRAFT email frequently over the course of a week or so. However, what I've noticed is that CHANGES I have made to the email DO NOT STAY. For example:I can ADD 'Milk' to my Draft email at Noon, come back to that email at 4pm and discover that 'milk' no longer is on my grocery list. Why cannot I not 'save' manually when I make changes?

WP10 is not saving body of draft emails

When typing an email and interrupted, then returning to that email in drafts, the To: address remains as well as the topic, but the body of the draft email does not appear.

Is there a save button that I've been missing? Or some steps I'm doing wrong?

What a pain!

Phil.

 

Windows Messenger Confirmation Email

No It didnt appear in my spam box but I updated to Windows live Messenger which sent the confirmation email and also verified windows messenger. Ty everyone for there suggestions

 

windows live mail sent emails appear in draft sent folder and not sent folder

I'm not sure I understand how you know that the message in your drafts folder is sent. Is there some visible indication of this or are you assuming that it went and now sits in the drafts folder?

Anyway, I'm sure you're sending emails properly, but to confirm with you the following: when you compose an email and save it in Drafts, it will remain in Drafts even though you hit the Send/Receive button to send it. While in Drafts, it needs to be double-clicked
back into the edit screen and then you press Send. It then goes into the Outbox folder and when you press Send/Receive it then goes to the recipient and your email gets saved in the Sent Folder. I just state this to make sure that this is all correct with
you and that's what you have been doing.

If the above is what you have been doing, then I suggest that you send a test email back to yourself. Does this email still mysteriously moves into the Drafts folder? And do you eventually receive it into your Inbox?

If you are not receiving your email back to yourself and it moves from Outbox and into Drafts folder as Sent, then I would ask, is your email account a Pop3 or IMAP account?

One other thing: when in Live Mail, click on View and then on Storage Folders. A new listing Storage Folder with sub folders will appear on the left. Are there any emails (particularly the email in question) found in any of the boxes under Storage Folders?
