When to use it
Suresh starts his team's appraisal mail, then gets called into a meeting. The mail is already in Drafts. After lunch he opens Drafts, finishes it and sends it. A second, angrier reply he wrote earlier he discards so it does not sit in Drafts.
Good to know
- In Classic compose, the first time you write a mail you are asked to choose Save Automatically or Save Manually. In Classic, use the Discard link to throw a mail away.
- A full mailbox stops drafts from saving.
