Right click the account in the Folder Pane on the left side and select Settings. Then Copies and Folders. What do you have set for Drafts?

I'm just REALLY stupid <LOL>

I doubt that. Maybe you just need to take some time and explore the menus. I have found many useful things just working the forum when researching answers or reading the posts.

Unless you got real creative on where you located your Draft folder it should be in the Folder list for your account on the left side. Some folders in Thunderbird are not created until you use them so if you have never saved a draft the Folder might not be there.

No, I really am stupid! <LOL> Thanks!
