Just FYI - I use K9 as well, but have it hooked up to Gmail with my drafts folder set to be my gmail drafts folder. I can look up the specific settings if you need them.
It's kind of a pain to get back to my drafts in K9 though, have to go to accounts, gmail, folders, drafts. So it might not be worth switching.
