[MlMt] Composed messages saved to a Drafts mailbox in MM v. 6238 and higher not visible on any other devices

[Henry Seiden]

Hello All,

So, what is it with message(s) composed in MM and saved to the Drafts Mailbox in any account?
* Found that, as Benny alluded to (in previous conversations on v 6241), MM behaves differently than other apps (notably Mail.app in Sequoia and earlier) now: A message composed in MM on one machine does not appear on any other device. When did this become effective? I consider this a problem. You?
* Composed a message and saved it in Mail to the account’s Drafts Folder. It is likewise visible on any other device (tested with iPhone, iPad, other Mac devices running Sequoia and current iOS, however not so in MM. It is only visible in the device it was composed in! Has this always been the case?
* Experimented with two or three accounts between Mail and MM composing, saving a draft in each app. Lo! Always works the same (MM Drafts are locally resident and invisible elsewhere. Is this a “Feature” or a bug? I don’t like it, but is seems to be there as far back as I can quickly determine, v6238 onwards, seems unrelated to Benny’s recent Network Framework TLS 1.3 update.
* In my opinion a email begun on one device should be registered in the Drafts mailbox and by the nature of the IMAP account be visible by other devices, particularly mobile devices, but really any devices using the same account(s). Portability issue?

So, I’m looking for confirmation that this is indeed occurring for all users and for your opinion (assuming you can replicate it) that  you consider this either a bug or some undocumented feature.

A search of the manual and the Help files could find nothing about this behavior. If someone on an earlier version than 6238 (or Benny) can test it to confirm or help deduce at what point in the evolution cycle of MM this was the case or not, I’d appreciate it- pretty sure that is not the case originally =when I started using MM about three years ago.

I don’t think this can be changed from what I have but further research or input from Benny is also requested.

Filing also to Feedback., My system: MailMate/6238/282BCB28-893E-51E7-891E-F3272BC540D1 15.4.0/arm64/MacBookPro18,3/10
