Apple Mail not deleting Drafts

GPGMail 2.5b5

I have been having an issue with Apple Mail where it is saving Drafts of every email I send as expected, but does not delete them, or at least does not delete some. Most of my mail I send not encrypted as I use GPGTools for only one client. This is not a big issue and only a small inconvenience, so I'm not overly concerned but thought I'd let you know. Apple Support tell me they don't have an answer for the problem and have not experienced it before. The only other plugin I use is Mail Act-On which I have used for years and which I can't live without. As I said, its not a big issue, but thought I'd mention it in case it assists in some way. The problem may not have anything to do with GPG Tools.

other Plugin: Mail Act-On

    Hi Annie,

    do I understand correctly, that even after a mail is sent, some drafts remain in the drafts folder? You did not post the version info so can you please copy all version info as described here into this discussion.

    If you are not on GPG Suite b5 already, please download and install from our homepage. There were issues with drafts in earlies versions but quite a few things have been tweaked in that area.

    All the best,
    steve

    Hi Steve,

    The version is 2.5b5 which I believe is the latest.

    Drafts are still not deleting.

    Cheers...

    have also been seeing exactly this behavior - multiple versions as i compose end up in drafts folder and are not deleted when i send.

    This is the last version which handles drafts correctly:

    17.09.2014 GPGMail 2.1 (0b14af0) 734n (released 03.09.2014 - surely okay)

    Since versino 739n the drafts issue is not solved at all. Including all betas.

    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.

    Could you please send a debug log from your affected machine: Open System Preferences > GPG Suite > Send Report. Check the box to "attach debug log". Since you already described your issue in this discussion, you don't need to add a lot of detail, but please do add the link to your existing discussion, so I can then merge your debug info with this existing discussion.

    So just to be clear you are running macOS 10.13.3 now and GPG Suite 2018.1 and still seeing duplicate drafts not being removed by Mail.app after sending the message?

    All the best,
    steve
