I hit "save draft" it popped me out
Later I'm back in and there's no drafts folder, not in the outbox...
Lil help?

What app are you using for email?
If it is gmail, push the inbox button in the top left corner and go to drafts.
I guess its gmail...its whatever the default email app is.
Even though I hit "SAVE DRAFT" I have no drafts folder when I click the top left. I have inbox, trash, outbox (empty) and sent.
Silly thing.....
You guess? It makes a huge difference what app you are using. Is the name of the app gmail or email?
Its says email in the apps drawer...its such a generic looking name I assumed it was a shortcut to "the email app do jour ".... so "email " is the name of the app

Oh ok thank you. I just set up my account using that app, and I think I got it.
Open the app, press the menu key. Then select folders and look for something with the word "drafts". For me it was GMAIL/Drafts because I have a gmail account. It may be labeled something else if you're using a different provider
Jmoney47,
Thanks for spending time with me and sorry about the delayed response..... unfortunately there was no drafts folder.
But... problem solved!!!!
I am using the messaging widget, and on the opening screen where I can see all my accounts there is a green plus on the title bar top right. When you press that plus you see all of the unsent messages that were partially started. You can either start a new message from there or select any of the partially composed messages and complete them.
It's almost like a generic draft folder for all email clients.... once again the droid o s makes things so easy that they hide in plain sight!

Just got my droid 2 global and like it so far except for battery life its a splendid device. I like to social network widget that shows facebook updates, but I don't want it to sync all my facebook contacts to my phone. Is it possible to disable this feature in the widget?

In contacts/ settings you can disable showing facebook contacts

Thats what i thought as well, but in my contacts, when i go to settings, all i see is my phone contacts, google and my corporate exchange account. No facebook. In the socia networking account settings twitter has the option to disable contact sync but not facebook
I meant you go to contacts, press menu button and there is this option to 'fade in' or 'fade out'. You click on that and it will give you the option the fade out your facebook contacts. Im not sure whether its called fade in/out since Im coming from a german device.
Could you find it?

Hide/Show is the setting!!
Thanks so much for helping me and not flaming even though the answer was simple, when switching from iphone 4 to droid some things require a different way of thinking or different approach that is not immediately obvious. So to me i was totally stumped but now i have it just the way i like
I don't see a hide/show setting on my droid 2. Is this because I'm on an original droid 2 and not the global? Id like the facebook contatcs to disappear, especially in the address field when I type a new text message.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
I went to the contacts icon on the bottom of my home screen. Then pressed the menu key and Hide/Show was one of the options. I wish i knew how to take a screen shot for you, but im still trying figreu that out myself.
I have "display group" in my contact settings where I can choose to see only google contacts. But the facebook contacts still show up in all contacts and in the contact field when I type out a new text message.

Sorry guys but is there a way to get the universal messages inbox on the home screen. The one that takes you directly to all your email inboxes and text messages? I've tried but have only been able to get one or the other not the unified one.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
if you put the messaging shortcut - that one is the one that holds the unified inbox.
But it still takesbyou to the sunscreen with the option for unified inbox, emal, text messages ext. There's no way to go directly to unified inbox?

You can if you're using something like LauncherPro. Then you can create a shortcut (via Activities) to Universal Inbox → Universal Inbox (com.motorola.blur.messaging.universal.UniversalInboxActivity). Alternately, you can take a look at Any Cut, which can do similar things.
Do you know if there is any way to do it (or add it to the dock) in GoLauncher EX?

Messages Widget
My messages widget only has text messages and gmail accounts showing. How do I add more accounts, such as yahoo, hotmail, etc? I have them all, just don't show up on the widget.

Hi, can I search the Global Directory of my company or Lookup a contact information from the original mail for exchange client without the need of TouchDown help?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
When creating a new Email for your Exchange account, you can click in Online button next to the Search field after you enter a few characters. This searches in the global address book. After you've found someone, select email address in the contact information.
I haven't found out yet how to browse the global address book and add contacts from there to your local phone. Even WM could do this...
I use the following app: https://market.android.com/details?id=net.vivekiyer.GAL

Just start typing the name. Automatically searches the directory using the server! B-)

No it's not working like this on mine! Wonder if there are any settings needs adjusting! Whenever I start typing a name, it only gives relevant names already on my contacts.

Now this is the most useful trick! I got it thank you! Though it is strange to work only from the new email window while it doesn't from inside the normal contacts manager! The function exists, but not very well utilized! Thank you again

Working perfectly on mine. I need to type 3 letters and after that the online button appears, then I just select the organization and press search and voila!

Yes I managed to make this but only from inside a New Mail Compose Window. Not from the normal contacts management application.

Hi, scratching my head on this one. This concerns the stock Email app, used with an exchange account, or pop3, or IMAP, tried all 3 and same result.
I get an email with an attachment, it shows a paperclip symbol in the inbox. Tapping the email to open it, I get the sender, below that the subject, then below that the body. No attachment shows anywhere whatsoever.
Now, if I then press the top right envelope icon, and select 'forward', i get a compose screen to forward the message, and well I never - the attachment shows up!!
So for now, in order to view an attachment, I have to open the email and then select the option to forward it, only then can I see it and open it! Any ideas what's going on?
(Please don't say install another client, i don't want that, I'm trying to discover why the default one is doing this!)
TIA
Does it happens with all kind of attachments ?
I have my mail synced to exchange,mail with inserted pictures for example shown like
paperclip and i can open them as attachments,until I press "load more details" ,then attachment disappears in to the body of the mail.

best solution i think
Just upgraded to ICS, added my Exchange account in stock email. At the first refresh, I see the subfolders, as soon as the refresh is complete, all subfolders disappear. Tried the usual, removed account and added it back, no difference. When I select a message and click the Move To Folder icon, the subfolder list appears there.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Could I be the only one with this issue?
The same here... no subfolders!
No you are not!
In GB the Samsung stock Mail sucked, but now its horrible!
Subfolders not showing up indeed and it looks crappy.
On my MotoDefy I am running Cyanogenmod 9 with the Google stockmail and I love it.
Why did Samsung left us with this inferieur mail app!
I do not want to root right now due tot the hardbrick problems with ICS... what options are left?
Have not found any real good sutitute on Google Play Store for Google stock Mail. Too fancy, to laggy or just far to expensive so far.
I have no such problem. Just click the menu button and then select folders. I see mine just fine.

Its not about the folders, dut subfolders in the folders
I installed a trial version of Touchdown and it can see my subfolders (the damn thing costs $20). I feel like going back to GB, is this possible? Am I going to screw up anything? The battery drain is noticeable, for the first time ever since I've had my Note, I heard a low-battery beep before the end of the working day. Coincidence?

I have no issues with sub folders.
You need to go to options (left hardware key).
Folders -->
Just click on the icon of the INBOX and it opens the list of sub folders for Inbox.
Similarly click on the ICON of the other folders such as Sent, etc for their sub f olders if any.
Okay, here's the problem. I have been touching the icon and nothing happened. Just got it to work by long pressing it and waiting about 2 seconds. It's a pretty bad lag. I have a lot of folders...?
ETA: Doing *anything* is slow. Much slower than GB. Deletes take 2 seconds each. Spinning wheel while inbox opens. This is for an Exchange mailbox.

I've been using the left hardware key and selecting Folders, the only folders which show up are the default ones (Sent, Draft, Outbox etc) By long pressing on the Inbox folder, even for a couple of seconds, I get a menu option to Open, Add Folders, Sync Options.
Update: fixed problem, click the Inbox ICON, not the label "Inbox" when selecting Folders.

Replaced Samsung email app bij the Google stock email app
The samsung e-mail app works to laggy for me.
I found en nice solution. Just follow two treads:
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26036984&postcount=1
2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25102714&postcount=18
The first one gives me a temporary root with a kind of temprary ClockWorkMod (I dit not instaal the RootUser - SU Busybox - BTW)
The second during the CWM session I installed ICS_EmailGoogle_update.zip.
Nice thing is.... its all reversable, no trianges or conuters end no ROM upgrades.
Works like a charm!
Now mij Note on ICS is like I want it!!
