mail.app, gmail imap and DRAFTS

[kvdv]

Mail.app 3.2 save drafts quite often as I am typing, however it does not replace or delete the draft already saved. instead it makes a new copy every x number of seconds, and I end up with multiple email drafts in the drafts folder. The drafts do not disappear when the email is sent, and they remain in the Gmail Drafts folder until I manually go in there and select the tens or hundreds of drafts and delete them all by hand.

Any solution to this problem?

Disable storing drafts on the server. Gmail will store a copy of any sent mail in its own Sent folder. Also, see this hint I submitted to MacOSXhints.com
