IMAP drafts close and upload on Save

[Allen Matsumoto]

I just switched most of my email accounts to use IMAP in Entourage, and may
have to switch them back to POP if I can't find a solution for this. (IMAP
works better for accounts that I use from both my Mac and iPhone.)

When I am composing an email, I habitually hit Save from time to time to
avoid losing my thoughts in case of a crash. This is a habit formed across
all applications over 20 years of computer use, so "don't do that" won't be
a solution.

In my IMAP accounts, hitting Save results in the email closing, being
uploaded to the server, and then after a pause of anywhere from a few
seconds to many seconds, it eventually shows up in my Drafts folder, so I
have to go there and re-open it. To say the least, this is a huge disruption
of workflow.

Is there any way to force Entourage to leave the email open while the Save
uploads the new version to the server? If not, I would have to say that
Entourage is unusable for me as an IMAP client.

Thanks!

Allen

don't like posting with my main address as the reply to, since it can result
in even more spam.
