  1. Windows Mail Will Not Send Drafts


    Earlier today I thought I sent an email from the Mail app. It went to Draft and will not send. Now I have to recopy it and send it through GMAIL. What could be wrong with Windows Mail? This is a Windows 10 64-Bit laptop. I know I hit Outlook as a subtopic; but this problem does not have anything to do with Outlook.

    :)

    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.

    We weren't able to send this message, so we've put it in your Drafts folder. Before you try sending it again, you can check to see if the address is correct and that no attachments are too large.

    JUST TELL ME THE PROPER PROCEDURE STEP BY STEP TO GET A E-MAIL OUT OF DRAFTS AND BE ABLE TO FORWARD IT TO OTHER E-MAIL ADDRESSES AND NOT LOOSE CLICK ON LINK - LIIKE ABOVE WHERE LINK IS LOST!!

    Windows Mail Will Not Send Drafts

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

    @JT

    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?
