Sorry, Martin, where do you get outbox from??? Is this
something new for version 2.0?? It doesn't appear,
natively, in my SM 1.1.15 (and older) profile!!
When you use "Send Later", where does it go?
Drafts.
On my system, it's always gone to "Unsent Messages." No such
thing as "Outbox," though that's an understandable description of
what "Unsent Messages" is.
Yeah, used to be "unsent messages" in my SM1.x too, it's outbox now
(either because of SM2 or because it's due to my change to IMAP),
should be the same.
"Drafts" is just a temporary holding area for messages you're
working on. If you do File | Send Unsent Messages, anything in
Drafts will stay there.

Templates is the one where anything put in it stays in it.
Drafts is just that, it where you put your draft and then when you
choose Edit Message as new and send it. it is sent and move to sent
messages. It will stay as long as you do nothing with it . But once
acted on its moved.
In version 1 (correct me if there are changes in v.2), I can explicitly
save a message as a draft, and it stays there indefinitely until I take
some explicit action like deleting or sending it. Additionally, the
program automatically saves the message I'm currently composing as a
draft every five minutes (default, I can set a different interval), as a
backup measure. So if I take more than five minutes to compose, there's
a backup copy until I hit "Send." If transmission succeeds, SM moves it
to "Sent," otherwise it keeps it in "Drafts" and notifies me of the problem.
If I manually save a message as a draft more than once, I get a series
of drafts in the "Drafts" folder, and when I finally send it, only the
latest version is moved to "Sent." I must delete the previous versions
manually. But autosaved drafts overwrite the previous version.
In one case, I had a troublesome message in "Drafts" for several weeks
as I went back and forth over how to compose it. Eventually, I thought
better of it and deleted it. But SM never bothered it. It stayed put
just as if it were in any other folder.
As noted above, "Send Unsent Messages" does not affect the contents of
"Drafts." It only looks in "Unsent Messages" (v.1) or "Outbox" (v.2).
The advantage of "Templates" is that if I open one, compose and send it,
the original stays put and I can reopen it and draft another message
based on that same template. Each modified version, when sent, is copied
to "Sent," but the untouched original stays put.
And finally, messages saved in user-created folders stay put, too, until
the user moves or deletes them.
