So, I installed the Claws Email client and really like it except for this one thing. ( I'm using Gmail with it) While I am writing an email about 10 minute into writing it I start receiving copies of the email I'm writing in my In box in the regular Gmail Email client on my N800. I will usually get 12 to 15 of these copies that are partial copies of what I'm writing. I know for sure I'm not acidentally sending emails by hitting the send button.
I have looked everywhere in Claws for a setting I need to change. I have searched here. I have gone to Bugzilla to look for any Bugs reported like this but find none. Anybody have any help for me? Or do I just need to do my writing off line and then get online to send ?

Thanks,
Neil

PS I also get these copies in the IMAP section of my Gmail account

claws has an option to save draft of what you're writing (as I remember its adjustable to "after xx lines of writing"). It sounds like you have this option enabled - and then somehow claws is set to saving the draft in a folder that gets sent...

Yes, this problem is due to drafting, and the strange mode of handling emails that GMail (IMAP) has. Basically Drafts, Sent, Received messages are all stored at the same place in reality - that's how GMail does its "conversation" stuff; and it's very confusing with Drafts. You can turn off automatic drafting to avoid this annoyance, in Preferences/Compose/Writing.

Thanks guys for the help. I had seen that setting but I thought it was an OK idea to send a copy once in a while. The setting says " Autosave message text to drafts every ( default setting is 50) characters." There is also an "undo level" option that I hadn't tried to change. I had increased the setting so that it would do it every 300 characters. Apparently it changed back to the original setting without my input. Anyway I have just tested writing an email after unchecking this setting and it no longer is sending copies to my email Inbox. This is much better but too bad that leaving it enabled but increasing the character number before send doesn't seem to work.
On another note, I unchecked autowrapping and that reenabled itself.

So I think this software is still a bit buggy although I must say it's mostly there and very feature rich.

'Autosave to drafts' has a maximum of '100', you can't go above that. If you use the up/down arrows at the side of the entry, you cannot go above 100. The fact you can write 300 directly in the box is a GTK problem, not a Claws problem.

As for autowrapping re-enabling itself - seems highly unlikely. I suspect that you clicked Close instead of Apply after changing this option. Can you reproduce that??
