Is a message both in sent and in draft really sent

pugsaresweet

When I send a message, it also stays in the drafts section, in Bold. It also appears as sent. But it keeps popping up. Is it sent or not sent. Thanks.

Maybe.

If you are typing a long message and you have autosave set for say 5 minutes and you go past the 5 minutes it is going to save a copy in Drafts. I thought that it was supposed to clear those drafts out after sending but maybe I am wrong about that.

Autosave settings. Tools-Options-Composition-General

Thank you! Brilliant, fixed the issue. Draft-save time was to short. Thanks so much. Simple, but elegant solution.
