After sending an email I get error message Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent) due to network or file access errors. You can retry or save the message locally to Local Folders/Sent. Actually it does but I get that message every time. Also, when I try to save a message it says Your Draft message was not copied to your drafts folder due to network or file access errors. You can retry or save to the draft locally to Local Folders/Drafts. When I retry it still doesn't go to Drafts. I do not want to save it Local because I use this on my other devices. Please help.

I've had this problem sometimes with large MSGs. You could try this: Look in "all mail", then right-click on the MSG and copy it to the desired folder.

I don't know about the problem with drafts.

Good luck! Maybe somebody has a better answer.... dcc
