The item cannot be saved because it was changed by another user or in another window

Hi Pittman,Thank you for posting. This is known issue. Our Outlook team is actively investigating this problem. In the meantime, you may please use the workaround mentioned in the article Unable to save changes to a draft email in Draft folder for IMAP accountsRegarding this we would truly appreciate your kind understanding.Best regards,Shyamal

The workaround didn't work for me.

This problem has been around for a long time, and the priority that Microsoft places on this work is probably not very high. I believe that all the people who are victims of this problem should encourage Microsoft to work more on this problem. One way to achieve this would be to make our voices heard on social media. If anyone knows anything about it, don't hesitate to take action! This gesture would be good for everyone. On the one hand, perhaps Microsoft could better assess how annoying this problem is. On the other hand, we might have a real solution more quickly.

Have a great day!

While I'm sure some folks who are forced to use this application may appreciate this "workaround", it is not reasonable to ask a user to take 5 additional steps to close an email that they've read. Please advise the team (of one person, perhaps?) working on this, to escalate this matter, so one of your more populate pieces of software can be considered a viable alternative to Gmail.

Thanks for your contribution to this thread, as heated as it has become (understandably).

Regards,

Paul

A year later, you still have not solved the problem?

A draft is NOT saved to my drafts folder.

A year later, you still have not solved the problem?

Is this rhetorical?
