    HELLO:
    WINDOWS XP/OUTLOOK EXPRESS 6
    I was told that "if you have something in Drafts folder and want to add to it, you just go ther, double-click it ,then proceed.
    But it does not work that way. i have to send it to myself,work on it ther, then put back into drafts folder.
    Today i chose "move to folder" Drafts, but i get a Dialog box that states "can not save this message ". I then tried Copy to folder, Drafts and it worked.
    Would i be better off putting it in my documents, then every day open it up and add to it ???

    Hello MIR11 !

    I did a test on my own system:

    1) Create a new message. It must have a recipient and a subject.

    2) Choose File > "Send later ". Now, the message is in the Outbox and will be sent the next time you click "Send/Receive" (a message window appears and tells you about this).

    3) Open the Outbox, right-click on the message and choose "Move to folder" > in the window that appears, choose "Drafts ".

    4) Now, you should be able to edit the message and save the changes (I could) and it stays there until you choose to send it.

    If you start a new Mail Message and click File->SAVE it will save the mail in the Draft Folder....You can then add/edit the mail and click File->Save again to save the new information.

    Even if you just hit the close button... you'll get a message Do you want to save changes to this message. If you click yes, your message will be saved in the Drafts folder.

    Clicking is optional ... ;) ... !

    Please, don't use all CAPS, difficult to read.

    Why would i go to Radified Guide at all.???
    I contributed $$$$ money here::
    You may wish to use more than one but i don't.
    As to CAPS, look at your car name, street signs, STOP signs,Plus if i were writing this by hand with pen on paper it would be caps because the only way i can write lower case letters by habnd is in Script or Longhand as it is sometimes called. (actually i find all caps easier to read)

    As I responded the first time, clicking is optional. Others have found the link useful!

    Solution ... :rolleyes: ... don't click!

    I was putting it nicely, indicated by the word "please ". I will not continue this argumentation since I'm sure that I will never get you to see it my way. Maybe someone else will?

    It is very simple: ALL CAPS is considered rude & shouting on-line.
