Mail 4.6 doesn't save email drafts

I find this to be true 90% of the time, even when Save As Draft is chosen or Mail>File>Save is chosen. I have to wait a very long time for Mail to save the email draft and soemtimes, it never does, no matter what I do. Also, if it has saved a draft, but I want the latest version to be saved, I can't get it to work or it takes a long time. Why wasn't this ever fixed?

I'm still having this issue. I was writing an email that wouldn't update to the lastes draft. So, I went into the Drafts folder, deleted the older version, chose File>Save for the newest version, and nothing happened. Waited 5 minutes, then clicked the Save As Draft and FINALLY it saved the latest version. Why does it take so long to update?
