Don't know if this is an iOS 11.1 thing, but I noticed it for the first time today after upgrading my iPhone to iOS 11.1 yesterday.
Here's my question: is it normal behavior for a mobile device's email client to receive push notifications when drafts are auto-saved to an Exchange 2016 server? Specific situation: I start to write an email in Outlook on Windows 10 at work and haven't yet sent it. At some point, an auto-save occurs as usual, but the Mail app on my iPhone then gets a push notification of the draft, as if it were a received email.
Have searched for similar reports with no luck, at least nothing sufficiently recent and/or non-overly-specialized (e.g., certain Gmail oddities years ago when free Gmail used Exchange ActiveSync).
This obviously is not a biggie but, rather, is just a curiosity. TIA for any ideas you can share.

EDIT, four weeks later:
This was a case of PEBKAC or, in this case, PEBPAC (phone and chair, not keyboard and chair). Turns out I had push set for Drafts, as well, which was on purpose because I wanted to see them ASAP from multiple devices, but I didn't know that would also trigger notifications. It does. 🙂 Lesson learned. Push no longer set for Drafts.
