Why iMail is often creating draft of sent mail in Mac OS X Lion Can anyone explain why iMail (Mac OS X Lion) is often the creation of projects of the emails sent or save a bunch of numbers in the same project without any reason?

I have the same trouble - often sent mail appears in the Drafts folder and the sent items folder on the IMAP server from my Mac mail dot com. This trouble does not occur in every email sent - which can be a problem with e-mails with attachments.

I tried to erase and goes and then returns. I tried to delete the address and send to myself, and again it comes and goes. Yesterday double once more. I tried deleting all my devices and the cloud, and again returned. At this point I do not know what else to attempt.

I can make use of a Gmail account and icloud as well as IMAP. Deselect the option works, nevertheless then if I can keep a project on my Mac, I cannot access it on other devices. His solution defeats the purpose of having a draft folder always synchronized.

I always advocate using IMAP as an alternative of POP to access their mail servers, nevertheless it turns out that Apple Mail has a routine of saving drafts on the server every minute or two. If you spend much time writing an important email (eg 30 minutes) are multiple copies of mail stored in the Drafts folder.

If you are using AOL then just un-check the drafts and spam boxes. With these amend, you can still save a draft of the computer, nevertheless will no longer mail copies of the draft of what you're writing every few minutes. Note that all projects previously saved automatically by Apple Mail "server" will disappear when making this change. You should make sure not to want to finish and send first.
