[Vtigercrm-developers] VT6 Mail Manager

[Alan Lord]

When I save a message a draft, why doesn't it go in my Drafts folder in 
my IMAP account?

I thought it hadn't saved it, but it had, just as an email entity under 
the Lead. However, the related list of emails shows NO indication that 
an email is sent, draft or whatever.

In the related list, the message I just saved as a *draft* has a date in 
the *Date* *Sent* column... Go figure.
