For some reason that I don't understand, I have two Drafts folders on my Macbook Air (running TB 91.1.2 with macOS Big Sur 11.6). One is immediately beneath the Inbox folder and second one seems to be connected to my gmail account.

I also use TB on a PC (also TB 91.1.2 with Windows 7 Pro). There, I only have one Drafts folder that seems linked to my gmail account, so that any drafts created on the PC show up in the second Drafts folder on the Macbook.

However, any Draft created on the Macbook shows up in the first drafts folder and that does not appear to be linked to my gmail account. So, any draft created on the Macbook is *not* accessible from my PC. I have tried to delete the first Drafts folder on the Macbook, but when I right click the folder, deleting it is not an option.

Any idea how to get rid of that first Drafts folder on the Macbook and have the drafts saved in the same folder that the PC is using?

See screenshots below of the folders and account settings on both computers.

Thanks for your help.

I am not a Mac user - but have you looked to see where the Thunderbird settings say to save drafts? Compare with where Sent mail is saved. Thunderbird allows the user to choose a specific location for these functions, maybe yours is not set to save drafts in the right place. Should be Account Settings - Copies and Folders - not sure where in a Mac.

The picture attached to my original post shows the settings that you mention. Drafts is sent to be saved to "Other": xxxxxx@gmail.com on the Mac, same as on the PC.
