Using "Mail" on my MacBookPro I was able to type in a draft e-mail without an Internet connection (for example when I am in the country) . Now using Thunderbird, I was very surprised that I couldn't make any draft e-mail with Thunderbird? I wonder why ? This is not really convenient , If I can't I will come back to the Apple software "Mail"!! AMG108

Make sure you designate the 'Drafts' folder underneath the 'Local Folders' account as the one to save message drafts. At the top right of the Thunderbird window, click the menu button > Options > Account Settings - Copies & Folders - Drafts and Templates - Keep draft messages in
