Double-click the draft in the mail list to open it.

Then you should be able to edit and send or save it again.

iPhone email drafts are not saved in draft folder Iphone: iPhone 12 Pro iOS: 15.7.1 Email: Apple Mail Several times now when I cancel an email and choose “Save Draft,” the draft does not appear in the draft folder of my email. It has disappeared. I have tried checking ALL the draft folders of each of my 4 mail accounts. And I have force quit my iPhone and reset it. Nothing works! How do I retrieve the missing draft? Or is this an iPhone bug? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

how to edit draft email message I have written a draft email message, and stored it in the Drafts folder of an IMAP email account. I want to continue adding to the message. On my iPad, I can access the message and make changes and additions. However, on the Mac, I can access the draft message (including changes made with the iPad), but I cannot edit it further. If I try to delete a word to phrase, the whole message is deleted (I was able to use Undo to recover it), and if I try to type over something or add something new, I get a beep, but no change made to the text.
