You have previously started to draft an email, but haven’t finished and sent the mail. Just swiping the draft-mail tab upwards should open the tab - where you can either finish or close the window.


Another option is to open the draft from your Draft Mail folder - and then close/delete the draft.

On my E-mail screen, I had the blank small Draft page show up in the lower left.

one of the " fixes" was to turn off and turn on --boot--


When I turned it back on the screen it went to my regular screen and asked me to enter my code to access the site, I sent in my code. it rejected. it. I tried my Apple code, but it was rejected. I tried several times and then it said, try in % min, tried, rejected.

Then 15 min. rejected again.

then located -- security notice?? maybe because I tried several times?. I did do a recent update.


I cannot access my I-pad to get to anything, so the fix will not be read on my i-pad. i am using another pc, window basted,


Thanks,

Richard

Its funny how our comments are not read before answering them. I open an email and all of a sudden (I am just reading the email) it becomes a draft and I get the annoying little email icons at the bottom of my ipad screeen. If I delete the draft the email is gone... GONE. I have to go to Trash and move it to Inbox. I NEVER did anything, not even trying to send it to someone.... It just happens like magic. It ones of those "nobody can explain" situations with Apple that NEVER get a response or get fixed.
