1845161 - Drafts saved as new copies in remote server

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0

Steps to reproduce:

Tested this on Office 365 through Outlook web. When editing a draft, instead of it getting saved over like it appears in thunderbird, new copies are made on the remote server. This causes unnecessary clutter in the drafts folder that I have to manually delete using another application (not trying to "advocate" here)

I call this a bug because in the thunderbird application, the new drafts overwrite the old ones, as is the "proper" behavior when saving over a file.

Thanks for reporting. However, version 91 hasn't been supported in almost a year. And version 115 is close to being the new supported version. Please test version 115, available from http://thunderbird.net/ or check at help > About in a couple weeks for the update.

This issue happens no matter what version it is.

It's a long standing problem. Look's like another "wontfix" issue to me.

You are not seeing the multiple drafts in both THunderbird and server?
