Q: I drafted an email, hit my home button and went to Safari before sending the email or saving it as a draft. When I returned to mail, the email I was working on cannot be found. How can I recover it?

What iOS version are you on? I haven't had this sort of thing happen for a while with 8.3. But I've been burnt in the past, and I'm a bit careful about saving a draft if I'm typing for a long time, especially with emails generated by other apps.

JJust double tap the home button and it will be in the background with your open items
