Outlook Drafts

[Cameron Rangeley]

Hi, I have a problem with Outlook 2003 SP2 connected to exchange.

When an email message is saved to the drafts folder it will sit there for
about 10 seconds before vanishing. it vanishes and goes nowhere. The message
count down the bottom of the outlook window will read 0

I am not running outlook in cached mode. I have confirmed that there are
no message rules at all and I have changed my view to 'message' (View =>
Arrange By => Current View => Messages)

If I send myself an email then move it from the inbox to the drafts folder
it will not disappear. If that message is still sitting in the Drafts folder
and I save an additional message the additional message will still disappear.

This fault is only known to be happenning on the Drafts folder.

Any help on this is appreciated, it has me stumped.

Does the message show in the in-box folder?

If I send the email to myself then it will show in the inbox and it wont
disappear. If I move that message to the drafts folder it will not
disappear.

If that email stays in the drafts folder then I create a new message and
save it to the drafts folder the new message that was saved will disappear
and the original message that I sent to myself will still stay saved in the
folder.

If I send an email to myself it first arrives in the inbox and will stay
there. Then if I move that email to the Drafts it will also stay there. If
I then create a new email and save it to the drafts it will disappear and the
original email (the one that was recieved) will stay.

Cheers

Another thing is that it appears to only disappear when there is nothing in
the subject.

If I send an email to myself it first arrives in the inbox and will stay
there. Then if I move that email to the Drafts it will also stay there. If
I then create a new email and save it to the drafts it will disappear and the
original email (the one that was recieved) will stay.

No, I mean if you create a message (don't send), then close and select to save, where does it show? Drarfts or Inbox?
