<p>welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.</p>
<p>Could you send yourself a test mail and while working on the draft observe if the problem is reproducible. Also it would be interesting to learn, if indeed several messages are sent. Or could it be that "only" the drafts are piling up, while in the end a single message is sent?</p>
<p>All the best,<br>

<p>I think perhaps you helped me years ago get on this to start with: if so, thanks again!</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure it is 'reproducible': Im using apple mail synced with a gmail account, so the record of the multiplicity lands there. Here's a couple of screengrabs that may illustrate.</p>
<p>cheers<br>

<ol>
<li>in gmail > webmail > settings go to POP/IMAP and let me know if IMAP is enabled or disabled for your account<br></li>
<li>remove and re-add your gmail account in Mail.app and see if that changes anything<br></li>
<li>you may disabled the feature to store drafts on the server. to do that, go to Mail.app > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox behavior and for drafts select the bottom option "Local > Drafts"</li>
</ol>
<p>Good night,<br>

<ol>
<li>IMAP is enabled<br></li>
<li>RE-added, with no noticable difference<br></li>
<li>Done.</li>
</ol>
<p>Cheers<br>

We first reported this problem with multiple drafts to Apple back in 2013 as bug #15368837. That bug was set to dupe of #7053869, so the issue must have been know earlier.</p>
<p>Please use their <a href="https://www.apple.com/feedback/mail.html">feedback form</a> to inform Apple about this problem and ask them kindly to consider investing the time to fix this long-standing Mail.app bug. It may help to add the bug number, so they know which issue you are referring to.</p></div>Stevetag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/425860832018-03-07T13:13:06Z2018-03-07T13:13:06ZGPGMail: multiple drafts saved and sent<div><p>The bug where Mail.app created multiple drafts has been fixed by Apple in macOS 10.13. If you are still affected by this issue, consider updating to macOS 10.13 High Sierra.</p></div>Steve
