![]() ![]() That is, I think, a bug rather than a feature, but it's not serious as you can select any message in Draft and delete it. And you are correct that if you start an email and then stall on it, the draft can be put in the Drafts folder and then not eliminated when you return to the partially finished open email window and complete the action. So, if you were working on an email, opened this draft for some reason, it may have been associated with the email you had started and got eliminated when you sent it. ![]() If you then opened the draft, added something to it and then sent it to someone, the draft is no longer needed and is eliminated from the draft folder. By putting this template in that folder, Mail assumes you want to eventually send and complete it. I vaguely remember someone else complaining about that a while back in this forum, but a forum search brought up nothing.Ĭlick to expand.The function of the draft folder is to keep incomplete and unsent emails until you decide to finish and send them. I'm running Mojave with a recently installed (maybe two month ago) 1TB Crucial SSD, not that I think that has anything to do with it (but I just want to mention it) I also recovered that email from a back up so I do have the information again - but still - emails in a folder should not just disappear. I wonder what else I could try to recover that email and any others that might have disappeared but where I have not recognized that yet. I also closed and restarted Apple Mail and also shut down the Mac and rebooted several times - emsil is still missing. Then tried rebuilding the Draft folder - that just duplicated most emails that were in the draft folder,but only the addressee, subject and dates, not the content. I checked the Apple Mail trash and junk folders - nothing there, did a search- nothing, ran FAF nothing, I sort emails by date with the most recent date at the top, so this email should have been towards the top of the list. To upgrade to the final version of MacOS Mojave, open the Mac App Store and search for 'Mojave.' Open the MacOS Mojave page and click the Get button. When I opened my draft folder yesterday, that email was missing. I have had this in my Apple Mail draft folder for years and copied information from that email regularly, the last time two days ago. With Apples installer safely copied somewhere and the drive you want to make into a bootable installer ready and mounted, now you open Terminal. The email that disappeared had the subject line Trying to figure out what happened and how to recover - specifically because I'm now wondering if other emails in the draft folder somehow disappeared, emails that I have not missed yet. I somehow "lost" at least one email in Draft folder. ![]()
