Saved message not visible in Drafts (But Search says it's there.)

I run TBird 128.7.1 Under Win 11-64.

Yesterday, I started writing, and editing, a detailed message, and then clicked to Save it, planning further editing today.

A few minutes ago, I opened my Account's Drafts folder, but was unable to find the message after sorting the folder every which way. Next, I opened Local Folders Drafts, and found it empty.

At that point, I entered the message's Subject in the CNTL-K Search field, and found the message (Whew...!) but I still did not know where it was hiding, so, I clicked Show As List, and learned that the message was located in my Account's Drafts folder, just as it should be.

The good news is that I can complete the editing of the message. The bad news is that I am still unable to locate the message in Drafts directly. I must search for it using CNTL-K.

What might be causing this disappearing act? And how might I prevent it?

Many thanks,

Lothar

OP here...

Is there a setting which determines the destination for messages that are Saved?

I ask because I just found out where me disappearing message was hiding. It was in the Drafts folder under Blogs & Newsfeeds in Local Folders (which I never use) and which contained only two messages, both of which were saved in the last 48 hours.

Can I point Saved messages to the folder I prefer?

Many thanks,

Lothar

Yes, click account settings and then 'copies&folders and select where you want drafts saved.
