TWO problems with easy fixes:
--
When messages are deleted from the drafts folder via IMAP - they need
actually be deleted like they are in the Spam and Trash folders.
This will allow Apple Mail to use the IMAP drafts folder and not
create 500 messages as it autosaves. The current workaround to keep
drafts locally isn't good enough.
It will allow a common drafts folder across an iPhone and a Mac.
--
Could you also allow the hiding of the All Mail folder via IMAP -
every message gets downloaded twice (takes 2x disk space) and it
upsets Spotlight (messages show twice) and the unread message count on
the Mac (unless you do some dirty hacks.)
I hope this gets read by someone at Google!!
Thanks
