Email Message Drafts

  • Updated

The Email Composer automatically saves your progress in Outbound > Drafts. You can resume the draft and send it out or use it as a template and reuse it for multiple outbound emails.

In the Email Composer, once you have given your email an Internal email title, all your changes are saved automatically to the Default Folder, showing the saved status at the top right:
