Emails on other sites

When I click on an email address on a website I can type & send it, no problem. But if I get interrupted & have to go to another site, however briefly, whenI return the email is no longer there & I have to start all over again. Since the email comes up with my correct email address as the sender automatically, I would expect to find the unfinished draft in that mailbox, but it is nowhere to be found. I take it that it is a temporary file, it even so where did it go & why does it just disappear? Is it retrievable from somewhere? Tired of retyping.

iPad, iPadOS 16

Hello HRHKiva,


When typing an email on your iPad, and needing to "step away" from it for a bit, you might want to save it as a draft first to make sure it saves properly for you. This way you won't have to start over. Here's how: Save a draft in Mail on iPad


Save a draft for later
If you’re writing an email and want to finish it later, tap Cancel, then tap Save Draft.
To resume work on an email you saved as a draft, touch and hold the Compose button, then select a draft.
Tip: If you have a Mac with OS X 10.10 or later, you can also hand off unfinished emails between your iPad and your Mac. See Hand off tasks between iPad and your other devices.


All the best.
