Problem: Outlook Express ignores request to save draft
Applies to: Outlook Express 6 (XP)


What to do when you compose a message in OE, and when you choose to save draft it just ignores the request (if you try closing the window, it asks you if to save the message. If you say "yes" it does nothing (and doesn't close the window).

This may happen if you didn't configure any mail server settings! Seems that the "save draft" option works only if your "Send / Receive" button is enabled. Smart, eh?
