Q: How to stop mail from keeping all early versions of outgoing emails
macbook pro running Mac OS 10.11.6. Safari version10.0.
I just found 42 early versions of an email that I sent on 5/6/14 in my "important" folder. It took me 26 minutes to compose the email and every version seems to have been saved. I have seen this before but not this many. I expect it is because of my mailbox behavior settings but can't figure out what to change.
This is a gmail IMAP account with the following mailbox behaviors:
DRAFTS stored on server
SENT stored on server (never deleted)
TRASH move deleted message to Trash mailbox,
NOT stored on server,
permanently erased when one month old
I know Apple and Gmail don't play well together but I thought I had gotten away with it until now.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)
