How to sync my Draft folder on an iPad with an Exchange account on my computer?
iPad 2, iOS 9.1
You should set up an exchange account in mail or outlook on your ipad. All folders should be sync'd as far as I know.

The exchange account was set up but the Draft folders does not sync with my emails on Windows 7 computer.
You could try another web client like Microsoft Outlook on the ipad.

I also tried this Microsoft Outlook app as well but still was unsuccessful. The draft folder still does not sync with the draft folder on my computer.

"Use the Drafts folder with your Exchange Account in Mail on your iOS device
You can find your draft messages in the Drafts folder on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
The Drafts folder is at the top of the list of folders in Mail. In this folder, you'll find draft messages that you've saved. You can edit and send your drafts anytime.
The Exchange ActiveSync protocol doesn't allow drafts on your iOS device to sync with the Drafts folder on the Microsoft Exchange Server.

I saw this on Apple's site..
😊 Oh, I was figuring how Apple was saying you could start things on one device then continue them on another device would follow through to mail.

I believe that's through Hands Off ..establishing continuity through multiple iOS devices. However, I have an iPad with iOS 9.1 and a Laptop with Windows 7.
fyi: looked into how imap worked. Does the same thing. I was surprised. 😊

Perhaps you can create user defined folder and call it DraftMail. Drag/drop your draft mail items from built-in Drafts folder to your user-defined folder.
EAS protocol version 16 (included in the latest version of Exchange Server - 2016) enables Drafts folder sync'ing. If you have Office365 subscription, you'll have that feature enabled when Microsoft upgrades their mail servers.
Syncing the drafts folder was previously not supported. We’ve added that support in version 16. Now you can start an email on your EAS device and continue editing that draft back at your desktop by retrieving the mail from the drafts folder. Or, write your draft at your computer, then make the final tweaks and send it from your phone while you're on the go.
IMAP, ok thanks, I'll check it out.
Thanks, seems like a fair work around but because it affect a numbers of iPad users was hoping there was a solution to it.
