How to edit mail from drafts folder created with K9?












0















I used K9 to start writing a mail. Then I saved it as draft on my IMAP account. How do I open that draft for editing using Outlook 2016?



Problem: When I double click the item as proposed here, it is opened as "received" mail - I cannot edit it. Right click gives me this menu:

Sorry, it is in German but it is the same as in the question linked above.



Please note the difference:




  • The second draft you see in the screenshot shows an edit symbol and no time. This draft I created with Outlook. Double clicking it allows me to edit it.

  • The first draft was the one created with K9. It contains a time (4:05pm). Is this the reason why Outlook "thinks" it is a received mail rather than a draft?
    Is there an easy solution? Or is a change in either Outlook or K9 required?

  • What’s your account type? POP or IMAP? We can try opening Outlook in safe mode to see if the issue continues. Please exit Outlook, press Win key + R to open the Run command, type outlook.exe /safe and then press Enter.

  • IMAP. Same in safe mode. There I could see that the time belongs to attribute sent. I guess that K9 and Outlook are using IMAP attributes differently and thus do not play together nicely.

  • Do you create the draft on the web mail of K5? If you direct create a draft on Outlook client, will same issue occur?

  • K9 is an Android app - see link above; no web mail. Concerning "If you direct create a draft on Outlook client": That works - see question above starting with: "The second draft..."
