Moving files from Drafts folder
Recently, I copied some emails into my gmail account. By mistake, they ended up in the Drafts folder. Doh! I now can't get them out of there. If I try and move one, by drag-and-drop or using the right clock menu, it disappears for a couple of seconds and then reappears in the drafts folder. How do I actually move them from there to another folder? Thanks.

Hi DavidGG, Many thanks for your response. Copying instead of Moving did the trick!!

I tried and couldn't reproduce the problem, don't know what may have caused this. You say the messages reappear in Drafts after trying to move them to another folder, but does the writing to the other folder succeed, i.e. do you end up copying instead of moving, or do they not get copied to the destination folder either?
What if you choose Copy To instead of Move To? Do they get copied in this case? If you can successfully copy them to some other folder, you may then try removing them from the Drafts folder in Gmail using webmail…
