The drafts do save under the local folder, not the inbox folder that is used to
send and receive.

that's not true for imap-accounts.

possible workaround: initializizing the drafts-folder by dropping manually a
mail out of another folder into the drafts folder (this mail can be removed
again immediately), then an further draft-mails are saved.
