Description Alexey Shumkin 2011-10-12 11:51:34 UTC 
While claws-mail (CM) is composing message, he saves one periodically in drafts (AFAIU).
I have a habit to save (Ctrl+S) a message when I compose it. CM obeys me and saves it, too.
So, I finish to write my message I have a large amount of partially written messages in my Drafts folders. I would not complain if CM remove them, but it does not.

I guess, there can be the only one draft message while user is composing a message, which (draft) should be removed after user send or defer sending of a message.

That's gmail, I suppose?
Comment 2 Alexey Shumkin 2011-10-12 20:30:20 UTC 
bingo! ))
Yes, it is
Is something wrong with GMail?

Yes. gmail can't handle incremental saves to drafts.
There are 2 things that you can do:

Add a local MH mailbox (/File/Add mailbox/MH...) and use its drafts folder instead.

Turn off the option "Automatically save message to drafts folder every n characters'. (/Configuration/Preferences/Compose/Writing)
