Hi, for some reason today i notice i have a draft folder on my iphone, and its not part of the system folders, its between my personal labels but i dont see it in the gmail online ? How can I remove this folder ?
Thanks
 
You must of switched to Exchange. One of the bugs Google lists is with the Drafts folder not being recognized. You can't remove this folder since it is a standard system folder. Also, it is always on the Gmail website but you may have it set to hidden. When you type a email on the Gmail website, it autosaves the email into the drafts folder until you send it.
 
Ok thanks so much, that explains it because i just switched to the new Gmail Push..

Why isnt there a sent mail folder once I switched over to Exchange push Gmail? The emails I send from my iphone go into the the sent mail folder of my desktops gmail but not my iphone

help please
 
I had a sent folder just no drafts because it was not yet supported. Try to delete and re-add the account.
 
Are we talking on the phone?

I just switched back to Exchange and Push and I see a Drafts Folder.

The drafts folder is shown as a normal folder (aka label) and isn't recognized by the iPhone Mail app as a "drafts" folder. So if you save a draft on the iPhone, it will create a local drafts folder. All it really means is you can't start a draft on your iPhone and then see/edit it on the Gmail website.

Yeah that is what I meant. ;)
