Sending email within word

[Guest]

I have come across this problem when i am working in Microsoft Word. I have
been trying to email a document using the Send To > Mail Recipient as
Attachment option when working with a word doc. I needed to save my document
because i had to work on something else, so i go click SAVE. I figured that
it would end up in the DRAFT folder but somehow it ended up in my INBOX. Does
anyone know why it is doing this and if there is a way to change the location?

It's because that kind of send uses a mechanism called Simple MAPI that knows only about the Inbox and Outbox, not about your other folders. (It doesn't event know that you're using Outlook.) Since it doesn't know about your other folders, the Inbox is the only place it can store a draft.

Sue, I have a user that was inquiring about this exact issue and saw this
post. So I take it there is no way around this at all huh? Microsoft hasn't
fixed anything with this at all and there is nothing we or Microsoft can do
to save this into the drafts instead of the Inbox? Thanks. Jim
