I understood what you want. I merely tried (and obviously failed) to
explain why it shouldn't be done this way. I think "Cancel" has been
well established as "cancel current action", and I don't think
attach too many consequences to it is a good idea.

Secondly, I don't agree the "Draft" flag is equivalent to the
"Parked" flag. I usually have several drafts in my Outbox, sitting
there for days at time, waiting for further revision. (My wife and I
have the habit of revising each other's mail if the intended
recipient is our mutual friends, so we go over each other's Outbox
from time to time, checking messages in "Draft" mode.) I certainly
don't want them to be confused with completed messages of which the
delivery was cancelled.

IMO, your purpose is better served by an "Offline" tool button as
suggested by others, which would stop checking/sending mail until
it's told to go "online" again. Addition option/tool button can be
arranged for people who want to halt, e.g., all checking but not
sending, or vice versa. But changing the "Draft" status is not a
good way of achieving this.
