## Saving and deleting a draft

What you write on the compose screen is saved automatically every few seconds.

When closing the compose screen, you are asked **Save draft?**: **Save as draft**, **Delete draft** or **Continue writing**.

To delete from the list, tap the trash icon next to the draft or press and hold the draft 3, then confirm.

## Shared draft conflict warning

A draft with the **On server** badge can be opened separately by multiple people in a shared mailbox; each person gets their own editable copy. In this case, a warning banner appears in the compose screen.

Yellow banner: another user is currently editing the same draft. If you both send, the email may go twice.

Reddish banner: the source of this draft on the server has already been sent or deleted by someone else. If you send it anyway, the email will have been sent twice; this banner also appears LIVE if the source is sent/deleted while you are writing.

**Result** When the email is sent, sent for approval or scheduled, the draft is deleted automatically.

**Note** Drafts with the **On server** badge come from your mail server; for example, drafts you started in your desktop email program. When you open one, an editable copy is created; if you delete it, the draft on the server is moved to the bin.

**Tip** If a draft cannot be saved while there is no connection, a warning appears in the compose screen; keep writing, and it will be retried when the connection returns.
