Has anyone noticed this too?
I don't use whatever SeaMonkey means by Local Folders (embarrassed
to say after decades with this suite that I've never figured out
its purpose).
You don't see your posts to this newsgroup in the Sent folder under
Local folders? It's where all 1420 of my sent messages are stored.
Also where drafts go if you save a post as a draft, so you can
proofread it, before sending.
All my Local Folders are empty, always have been (seems to depend on
when you came to Netscape/Mozilla/SeaMonkey). Sent messages are saved in
the Sent folders of the corresponding accounts, and drafts are saved in
the Drafts folders of the corresponding accounts.
But I regularly find emails left behind in my regular Drafts
folder after I've sent them. It's a bit of a mystery; one definite
cause is when I've saved a draft email, then modified it and sent
it without having resaved it first. It's rather a pain; I always
have to go back and be sure that email actually went out before I
delete the remnant in the Drafts folder.
I don't Save as Draft any emails when composing.
I do, frequently, and the result is as stated above (no problem). For
example, I have a delivery ticket in my Templates folder, and if I have
notes to the client, I'll start a delivery ticket, add the notes, and
save as draft. I may update it several times as I work. When I complete
the job, I attach the job and the invoice, finalize the ticket and my
notes, and send.
I haven't observed Ant's problem here, not even once in a while; drafts
are always properly deleted whenever I send the messages.
