Apple Mail keeps saying message can't be saved

I keep getting this message pop up: "Error: The message could not be saved." The only option is to click OK. I click OK and it comes up again, sometimes 10 times before it finally stops popping up. Despite the error pop-up, messages are still there; they don't disappear and when I'm done, I can send them. What is going on here?

Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Your Account>Mailbox Behaviors, what path is Drafts Mailbox set to?

Setting it to an On My Mac Drafts box generally cures it if you don't need Drafts sent to other devices.

Try setting to an On My Mac Box.
