Do you ever find yourself writing an important email and accidentally closing the window without saving it as a draft? It happens to the best of us. Fortunately, there’s a simple solution to ensure that your emails are automatically saved as drafts in Outlook.
By default, Outlook saves unsent emails as drafts after a certain time limit. However, you can easily change this setting to save your emails as drafts immediately. Here’s how to do it:
1. Click on the “File” option in Outlook.
2. Go to “Options.”
3. Click on “Mail” and scroll down to “Save Messages.”
4. Under “Automatically save items that have not been sent after this many minutes,” change the time limit to one minute (or more or less depending on your preference).
5. Click “OK” to save your settings.
Now, whenever you compose an email and forget to save it, Outlook will automatically save it as a draft within the time limit you set.
It’s important to note that if you close the email window without saving it as a draft, Outlook will still prompt you to save it before closing. However, by changing the settings to save drafts immediately, you can ensure that your emails are never lost.
In conclusion, saving drafts in Outlook is a simple and useful feature that can save you time and prevent loss of important emails. By following these steps, you can easily change your settings and enjoy the convenience of automatic draft-saving.
