Description Federico Bruni 2016-11-28 17:42:44 UTC 
As reported here:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/geary-list/2016-November/msg00014.html

If the mail server of an account does not support IMAP UIDPLUS, Geary should warn that saving drafts is not possible and not offer to save drafts.

As Mike wrote in the thread linked above:

A proper fix however would be to have some kind of fallback so that servers that do not support UIDPLUS can still be used to save drafts. I have a feeling that the way to do that is implement local draft folders, i.e. Bug 713581.

Bump tickets to 0.14 that aren't going to make 0.13.
Comment 3 Michael Gratton 2019-08-02 03:34:45 UTC 
I just pushed a fix for the second part in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/merge_requests/270 - the save button is now hidden if the draft manager throws an error (including if UIDPLUS support is absent).

The first part will be obviated by https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/issues/517, so closing as fixed.
