Description
Describe the bug
If I go to my E-Mail provider's website I can see that I have 10 drafts. However only three of them show up in k-9.
EDIT: I noticed it's drafts of sent messages. They get hidden in k-9, but not deleted.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open k-9
- Open the drafts folder
- Refresh
- See that in comparison to the web interface k-9 shows significantly less drafts.
Expected behavior
Either:
- k-9 shows all drafts or
- k-9 deletes the draft not only locally but on server
Environment (please complete the following information):
- K-9 Mail version: 5.804
- Android version: 10
- Device: Huawei P Smart 2019 (Codename POT-LX1)
- Account type: IMAP

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with an IMAP account, then compare the drafts folder in K-9 Mail with the provider's website after refreshing. Trace the draft synchronization and visibility behavior; done means sent-message drafts are either shown in K-9 Mail or deleted from the server consistently with the chosen expected behavior.
