Abstract
Draft management for new electronic communication messages in a mailbox folder is provided. When a user selects to create a new email message, a draft of the new message may appear in a list view of one or more of the user's mailbox folders. The list view may display aggregated contents from both a mailbox folder and the drafts folder. Drafts may be identified as draft messages so that it may be easy for the user to distinguish between draft messages and other email messages. When a draft is deleted or when a draft is sent, it may be removed from the list view. Additionally, selection controls may be provided in the user interface to sort email items by groupings. Selection of a drafts selection control may cause a display of the draft items in the user's email account.
