As mentioned in bug 793270 comment 6, when saving a message you compose as draft on an IMAP server and the action is still in progress, closing the compose window will prompt if you want to close it due to the ongoing upload. After confirming the request, a second prompt get shown:

[Confirm]

There was an error saving the message to Drafts. Retry?

[OK] [Cancel]

Occurs in XP SP3 as composing. Appears to be auto save to drafts. Tried moving to "Local Folders" Same behavior. Folder Permissions are "Read-Only" and not changeable.

the prompt sequence is signficantly changed several releases ago. I'm pretty sure we already have reports that cover the newer scenario.
