  • Can you check mu4e-sent-messages-behavior setting ? The documentation doesn't have details, but it may get you started. ---------- Which server are you using ? The behaviour you are seeing, may be due to the server, rather than client (mu4e) Commented May 2, 2016 at 6:55
  • I have loads of drafts. Look forwarding to the solution. Commented May 2, 2016 at 7:48
  • After some research, what happens in my case is this : when composing a new message, mu4e picks a name for saving it to disk, say draftname. But when I update-mail-and-index, the draft gets renamed (I guess offlineimap does that). So if I continue editing from the same buffer I started with, and save it again, a new file draftname is created. That file will be re-renamed again, to yet another name, and so on until you finally send the mail. So the more often you update-mail-and-index, the more drafts you get. Commented Jul 6, 2016 at 9:10
