Version: 4.7 (using KDE 4.7.3) OS: Linux When closing the composer, I'm usually asked whether I want to save the message as a draft, unless the new message was left untainted. However, this concept doesn't work out well with drafts and outbox messages. Here, the question whether the message has been tainted in the composer, is simply no good criterion. Often enough, one just takes a look at the draft. Now if then the composer window is closed without any change, the draft simply disappears into the abyss, instead of being kept unchanged. Also the options in the dialog box are irritating for already existing drafts and outbox messages. IMHO, the question should not be "Save as draft" vs. "Discard", but rather "Save" vs. "Discard changes". Reproducible: Always Expected Results:
Now when we edit draft without change data we will allow to save in draft. So we don't lose data.
I can confirm this behavior with KDE 4.7.3 on Gentoo. I did the following: 1. Create new mail with Ctrl+N 2. Write any text 3. Alt+F4 to close the composer and choose "Save as Draft" So far everything is fine, but if I 4. reopen mail again by right-clicking to it and choosing "Edit Message" 5. do not change text 6. Press Alt+F4 again to exit composer the e-mail is no longer present in any folder.
As I wrote comment#2 is fixed in 4.7.4/master
(In reply to comment #3) > As I wrote comment#2 is fixed in 4.7.4/master OK, can confirm this. Someone with permission should close this bug as RESOLVED FIXED.
