The maximum idle time on an e-mail session is two hours. That means that, if you do not click Send or change from one message to another, your e-mail session will be "disconnected." In order to avoid losing a message that you have been working on for a long time, you can use "Draft Mode." Follow the instructions below:

1. Create a Drafts mailbox:
   On the Mailboxes screen, type "Drafts" (without the quotes) in the box at the top and click on the Create Mailbox button.

2. Enable the Save Drafts option:
   • Click on the Settings link at the top of the screen.
   • Scroll down to the prompt, just below the Signature section, that says "Store Drafts in:"
   • From the pull-down list, select the mailbox Drafts
   • Click on the Update button
   The above steps need only be done once. Then, when typing a message that you want to save and continue editing later, follow the instructions below:

3. Save Draft:
   At any time in authoring a message, click on the Save as Draft button on the Compose screen.

4. Continue Editing your Draft:
   • Go to the Mailboxes screen and click on the Drafts mailbox.
   • Open the message you want to work on.
   • Click on the Edit Draft link near the top of the message.
   • Continue editing the message.
   You may click on Save Draft again to save multiple drafts or click Send when you are finished.
