All other folders pop write up when picked.<a href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/satisfaction-production/s3_images/125642/message.jpg"><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/satisfaction-production/s3_images/125642/message_inline.jpg" alt="" /></a>

Anything in Tools -> Error console ?

Is your draft folder an imap or a local folder ?

drafts were saved to local folder.

Seems problems solved. I turned the computer off for the night. When I turned it on today I had several "file record #### segments unreadable" messages pop up while booting. The computer recovered the files and seems to run fine. That also seemed to fix the draft saving problem.

I will post here if I experience this again.

Thank you!
