It all depends on how often your service or program updates what you’re working on to the drafts folder.

You may find some of your work in progress. You may find most of your work in progress. Most email services and programs have a “drafts” folder into which they periodically save a copy of what you’re working on.

Most importantly, save your work often while composing your message so it’s been saved somewhere should something happen.

You can find the option in the following location: It’s actually a bit curious why this option hasn’t been set as the default and that the original message window isn’t being recycled similar to Outlook 2013’s Inline Reply feature. There indeed is an option to automatically close the original message when you press the Reply, Reply All or Forward button. Is there a way to automatically close these windows when I reply? Whenever I press Reply, Outlook opens a new message window but the original message is still left open as well and needs to be closed manually after I sent my reply.Īs I often switch between applications while writing a message, this opened message gets “hidden” behind other windows and I end up with many opened message windows by the end of the day. I prefer to read emails by opening them in their own window rather than using the Reading Pane.
