My draft folder suddenly shows 97 bogus drafts that are parts of emails already sent. How do I fix this?

Hi, in the past week, we've seen a number of weird things going on. 1. is the question above about our drafts folder suddenly being full of parts of emails that were already sent. We're afraid to delete the contents of that folder because the "sent" emails they refer to, are gone. 2. There is a half second delay when we type. Kind of like when you watch a movie and the sound doesn't sync. When I type, I type a letter but what appears is a letter behind what I'm actually seeing. Same is true when I backspace. It's driving me nuts.  :) 3. We are getting a couple of emails a day later than when they were actually sent. We received one today that was dated 1969.

I tried shutting down and restarting but it did nothing. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you!

Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.

If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, a moderator can move this thread to the Thunderbird queue.

I moved this question over to the thunderbird board. I do in fact, use thunderbird as our email provider. Thank you.
