I am a long time user of Postbox, with version 4.0.8 purchased and
installed. I have my email accounts settings set on IMAP, to save disk
space on my MacBookAir. I wish to save copies of my draft messages
offline, but haven't found how to do so. Here is the current situation:
With currently a lax Internet connection, I switched yesterday to offline mode while opening Postbox. I assumed that, logically, this would save the draft messages I wrote in this section on my hard disk, and not on the server. Unfortuntatly, as I had just finished a message draft, my Internet connection droped again. I closed (a bit too fast) my message to save it, and then checked in the Draft folders. There was a warning the the programme couldn't show the message, as it had not been downloaded from the server. The following day, without closing the programme or my computer, the connection was working again, but the message could still not be seen.
Checking postbox knowledge base, it indicated to uncheck the offline mode, which I did. But my message could not be retrieved, and its subject line disappeared totally from my my Draft box. I noticed that next to the Offline menu was a sub-menu to choose which folders to keep a copy from on one's disk in offline mode. I checked several (not all, not to clutter my box), but couldn't find the Draft folder. It should be noticed that my version is localized in French, but still drafts should appear in either language, since they are apparently saved on the server, shouldn't they ?
If someone can tell me how to save my draft messages offline, that would be really great.

Click on the inbox of an account for which you wish to safe the drafts offline.
Then right click on Drafts for that account (or Control click on a Mac) and choose Properties.
Choose Offline
Tick Select This Folder for Offline Use
Repeat the above steps for each account whose drafts you wish to have access to offline.
