Multiple drafts for one message

Hello - I find that when drafting an email, the system 'saves' the draft every few minutes, and I end up with a long list of drafts for the one email. Can I set up my system such that a draft, when saved, overwrites the previous draft, and then deletes the draft when the message is sent to the recipient - as it is now in the sent box. Andrew

To my knowledge, there are two choices:

  1. change frequency of saving drafts at settings>composition so there are fewer drafts to delete, OR
  2. change location of draft folder to Local Folders
