When sending e-mail if goes first into draft

Post by CharlesWilli »

I assume something is wrong with my configuration then whenever I send an e-mail it goes first to the draft folder.
From there I have to send it again and the recipient gets it.

Any idea what is wrong and how to correct ?
Thank you

Check your Account Settings - Copies & Folders for the correct actions.

Verify that the "Place a copy in:" selection is set to "Sent" Folder on:

You probably have the "Other:" selection checked to have the messages saved in the Draft folder.

I don't think this would cause the stated problem. I don't believe copies of Sent messages are placed until after the outgoing message has been sent to the SMTP server.

The autosave feature, if enabled, does periodically place messages one is composing into one's designated Drafts folder, but that shouldn't keep the message from going out on the first press of the Send button.

So I think we need more information from the OP. WHEN do the messages go into the designated Drafts folder? When you press the Send button, or just periodically during the composition process as specified in Tools | Options | General | Composition | Auto save every XX minutes?

I am sorry but I forgot to mention that this problem only happens when I send an e-mail from my Galaxy4S smartphone.
Receiving ok

Thanks again

That's Galaxy S4?
As my signature block below has said for a long time, there is no Thunderbird for Android.

I am sure your right,there is no Thunderbird program on my Galaxy 4S
Howevever,I created an email account on my Galaxy4S using the same data as the one on my
computer.After configuring I got message that I am able to receive and send e-mails.
As I said before receiving is no problem but when sending they end up in the draft box.
It is not really a big deal since I can send them from my draft box.

Thanks

So you need to contact the provider of whatever email program you are using.
Check the settings of that email client.
