Mail is Creating Drafts and They Aren't Deletable Since the Ventura 13.5.1 (22G90) upgrade, every time I get a new email, click on an email or draft an email; or even attempt to adjust Mail settings, my Mac creates a new blank draft. Nothing happens when you click to close the window or click to delete the draft. The only way to get rid of the pop up window is to minimize it, so the list of drafts keeps growing. I've tried changing the setting in Mailbox Behaviors for Drafts to On My Mac instead of Drafts Folder per the advice of someone in an Apple Facebook group (and 2013 thread here), but it changes itself back. Obviously this is keeping me from getting work done efficiently and is bogging down my computer.

Mac Mail Does Not Save Drafts Apple, what is the problem with Mail on Mac OS Ventura 13.2.1 running on a 2021 MacBook Pro 14? When closing an email to save as a draft, the app prompts the user: "Save this message as a draft?" For the past 10-20-forever years, clicking on "Save" would then save the message to the Drafts mailbox. Now it doesn't save it ANYWHERE (and yes, I have gone into Mail preferences to verify the mailboxes identified for saving drafts). Saving e-mail drafts isn't exactly Power User technology. Maybe you ought to fix this frikken thing.

Verify you have no emails stuck in the Outbox or Drafts box—remove all of them.

Quit Mail, when you relaunch Mail hold the Shift key down and compare your results.
