Comment:
I can't confirm the behavior described in the original report. Draft mails
seem to be stored always, there is code which checks specifically for the
return code for a missing draft directory and creates the directory if
missing. Perhaps this has been added after the ticket was created.
Creating the mail/out folder, or whatever other folder is configured for
outgoing mail, was implemented as well. However, another bug apparently
causes the configuration of the out folder not arriving at the place where
sending the mail happens. I've added a fallback for this situation in
r36490. Outgoing mails will now always be stored in ~/mail/out as a last
resort.
Another curious thing is that stock Haiku images seem to already contain
mail/in, mail/out and mail/drafts. I haven't found the place where these
folders are created. On top of that, Mail calls it "draft", note the
missing ''s''. So after saving the first draft mail, the user will be left
with mail/draft and an empty mail/drafts.
I may or may not find the time to look deeper into this, however, the
problem is now much less severe.
