# Save and finish drafts

To keep a mail, tap the overflow menu in compose and choose Save as draft, or press back and choose Save as draft. The app also saves a draft if you switch to another app. Open Drafts and tap the mail to continue. Discard asks for confirmation by default.

## How to save and finish drafts

1. In compose, tap the overflow menu and choose **Save as draft**.
2. Or press back and choose **Save as draft** when asked.
3. Later, open **Drafts** and tap the mail to continue writing.

## When to use it

> Anita is interrupted by a call, switches app, and finds her half-written mail waiting in Drafts.

## Good to know

- There is no timed autosave. A draft is saved when you leave or pause the screen with changes.
- If no Drafts folder is set for the account you see "No Drafts folder configured for this account!".
- **Discard** asks you to confirm unless you turn that off in settings.
