Ok the saving of the draft and sent location just burnt me. I HAVE to figure out how to get these emails to save in local (ex: draft vs in personal/draft). What file hold that setting?!?
What is interesting is when I chose to edit the mail account -> defaults -> click 'revert' the settings go to local (aka draft sent)->click OK and says will enact after evo restarted. Click on mail account -> edit ->defaults and the settings back to personal/sent personal/draft (and restarting does not effect this though I do get a failure message upon closing evoltion which closes too quick to catch. Help!
