Original Redmine bug id: 7250
Original URL: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/7250
Searchable id: yorba-bug-7250
Original author: Jim Nelson
Original description:

In addition to a queue for transmitting drafts to the server (#7235), Geary
could also offer a local-only Drafts folder. This would obviously not be
synchronized with a server anywhere, but it would allow for the composer to
auto-save drafts somewhere as well as offer a way for the user to come back
later to an email, if only on the same machine.

This could be a stop-gap until SPECIAL-USE (#6070) and/or allowing the user to
pick a Drafts folder (#6066) is finished. There may be a few services out
there that don't offer a bona fide Drafts folder, but it seems exceedingly
rare.

Comment 1 Michael Gratton 2016-11-21 23:41:02 UTC
I'm starting to wonder if we should implement this sooner rather than later, for a bunch of reasons: Performance, offline capability, to allow users to save drafts and to reduce the impact of server bugs such as Bug 729136, Bug 727686, Bug 726728 and others.

If DraftManager only saved draft messages to the local drafts folder as the user was making changes, then copied the most recent version to the server if the composer is closed & saved, that would remove a bunch of pressure points.

Bump tickets to 0.14 that aren't going to make 0.13.

This is covered by https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/-/issues/517, closing in favour of that.
