Different strokes for different folks. I actually dont' mind this behavior. Instead of searching for a draft, I know I can just look in one draft foldre to find it. The email address the draft was created with is retained in the "From" field. I still double check this part just to be sure though.

Instead, My issue is that all draft messages are automatically going into my outlook data file folders by default, and I'm trying to figure out how to configure Outlook 2010 so that the messages go into the drafts folder for the particular e-mail account I happen to be in at any point in time--either my personal account or my work account. That is the dilemma.

So if you do a control Y and then a left arrow you can then get to a list that you can select which account you are in. when you do this and do a test email to yourself and before you send it hit escape it should automatically go to draft or you will be asked if you want to save it. If you say yes then do another control Y and go to draft folder to see if it is there. Do this for all of your accounts and if the emails are not saved in your draft folder then something has been clobared (love that term). Of interest if you have multiple account email accounts you have to be careful in the lists to ensure you are in the right one for that account. I find the lists are not very well defined once you have more then one email account that you traverse back and forth from. robin -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Tom Behler Sent: December 30, 2014 8:50 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Outlook 2010 Question Gobi: I'm not sure my previous experience with Outlook 2010 agrees with what you are saying here, since I used to be able to save messages in the drafts folder of whatever e-mail account I happened to be in at any one point in time. Things changed for some reason a few months ago, and I find I can no longer do this. Why they changed as they did isn't clear to me, and I'm hoping I can get things re-configured to where they were previously.

InBox; 2. Sent; 3. Drafts; and 4. Outbox. If you have additional mailboxes configured, these folders cannot be assigned as default folder where you can direct the Saved messages. HTH. Cheers!

Open Outlook 2. Go to the File menu, and then right arrow over to the next tab, (I cannot remember what it is called) 3. Tab down to "Open Outlook Data File" 4. Press Enter on this 5. You will be prompted for the file name, and type the following: C:\users\Tom\documents\Outlook Files\"Outlook Data file name". 6. The name of the Data File should be something like Outlook1. You can navigate to this location before doing this to double check the file name. 7. On the resulting page that opens, you will find links to view lists of the emails from the folders like Inbox, Drafts, and Deleted Items. 8. Maybe you can find your lost messages here. Goodluck.

What if you put some unique characters in the subject line of a test email, like "XXXXX9999XXXXX" - whatever is unique. Then do your usual ctrl "S" or your preferred save to draft method. Then do a search using the alt key to bring up the Windows 7 Search box, then enter the unique subject line test message string. Perhaps the search will disclose the location of your saved messages and solve the mystery of the missing (or AWOL) draft folder. Good luck!

It asked me if I wanted to save my message, just as it did when I used the escape key normally, to which I responded Yes. Unfortunately, even with this approach, my message was not saved. I could not find it in either my local or g-mail draft, junk, saved, or spam folders. I simply can't imagine where these messages are going, especially since I told Outlook to save them in the drafts folder. On your second note, I, like you, find it easier to find relevant folders in Outlook by simply shift-tabbing to my folder list and accessing my desired folder either via the arrow keys or by first-letter navigation. Thanks for your helpful suggestions, though. I'll keep plugging away at things here. Hopefully others will have additional things for me to try. I'm also going to try to get some sighted assistance here to help determine what might be going on.

One thing are you when opening office in the folders of your email address it helps. I use 2013 business and I have it open outlook by my email address and when moving around to different folders I use shift tab and use letter like D for drafts and then entre. I found this the easiest way to move around not control Y.

I am experiencing a problem with Outlook 2010, that I can't seem to resolve. If I am writing an e-mail, and find the need to leave my computer before sending the message, I often like to save my message in the drafts folder. My usual way of doing this is to hit the escape key, at which time I will be asked whether I want the message to be saved. Of course, I respond by answering "yes", thinking that all should be well. However, after I do this, I look for the supposedly saved message in my drafts folder, and it is not there. I check both my local drafts folder, and the drafts folder under my expanded outlook folders. The last time this happened, I even checked my drafts folder on the g-mail web site, under my personal g-mail account, and it was not there either. I have also checked my deleted items, junk, outbox, and saved folders, but no message appears there either. What makes this especially annoying is that I did not have this problem a month or so ago. I'm wondering if something has been updated in Windows so as to make this saving function less easy to perform? I posted this quiry several days ago on the other Jaws list j...@lists.the-jdh.com and although I have gotten several suggestions, none have worked thus far. One other note: I have tried the control S key command as a way to save the message. However no saving options appear when using this key command. Thanks for any help that can be provided. P.S. I hope this quiry is not considered to be "off topic" for this list. I am a new member, and don't want to wear out my welcome right from the start.
