Cristobal: I found where to switch my g-mail account to basic HTML view on the g-mail web site, and discovered that the folders are much easier to navigate this way.
However, I went into my drafts folder, and discarded all drafts; but the drafts still seem to be stuck in my Outlook 2016 drafts folder. This now seems like an Outlook problem, and I'm not sure how to solve it from here, since working within my g-mail account itself did not seem to correct things.

In other words, they just don't go away! I have also tried going to the gmail web site, and deleting the messages from my personal g-mail account. But, I find the web site itself difficult to navigate, and I have difficulty consistently getting to where I need to go to delete those messages. I guess my only option at this point would be to disconnect from the internet, and see what happens from there. That just doesn't seem like it should be necessary, though!

Then you should get a message box that comes up asking you if you want to permanently delete the message. Click yes and it should be gone.

If you're on wifi, just disable the wireless on your machine and if you're hard wired, depending on what system you're running, go into adaptor settings or network (maybe someone else can give you specific instructions) and disable the connection. Then go back and try to delete the messages and hopefully after they're gone, go back and enable your internet. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Tom Behler Sent: Monday, January 02, 2017 6:49 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Problem With Permanently Removing E-mails From Drafts Folder In Outlook 2016 How exactly can I do this without interrupting internet service for the rest of the household?

I have just experienced the recurrence of a nagging problem in Outlook 2016. I seem to be unable to remove items from my drafts folder. I can move them to my trash folder, and supposedly permanently delete them from that folder, but when I go back to my drafts folder, the original draft e-mails re-appear. Sometimes, I can correct this situation by going into the drafts folder in my personal g-mail account and eliminating the messages that way, but this does not always work either. Has anyone else experienced this issue? And, if so, how did you ultimately get rid of those stubborn draft messages?
