Outbox is used to store drafts of e-mails that won't/don't send for
any particular reason. You should have an option to store such delayed
messages in the Local or Account Outbox when/if they occur - the
Outbox won't actually be created in your Account Folder list until
such actually occurs, but all of the Local Folders listed are default.

I think the use of drafts is confusing here, Outbox holds undelivered 
messages, Drafts holds messages subject to further editing, Templates holds 
starting points for future mails.


While you could go to Outbox, open a message, edit as new and send, that's 
not the normal use. What's in Outbox should be final form messages ready for 
delivery, rather than a draft, which is a work in progress.



BTW - once you get things sorted, you may as well upgrade to SM 2.0.14.
That's what I'm running on all my Macs except my Sawtooth, which is
still running 10.4.11.

In other words ... the Outbox must be *empty* 99.9 % of the time.

I understand. Thanks.

See my previous Widgets glitch post. I tried 2.0.14, and it broke my 
Widgets. I went back to 2.0.13 for that very reason. I need my Widgets 
and if 2.0.14 won't allow that, I will wait for the next release.
