When Mail drafts are not actual "drafts"

This is an issue with the Yahoo! server. For some unknown reason it removes the draft flag on the message so you can’t edit it.

There is a workaround for this though. Go to Menu > Accounts and click on the Diagnostics tab for your Yahoo! account. In the Advanced Options Parameters box, paste in this text:

--imap-messages-in-drafts-folder-are-drafts

Click on Save & Close and restart eM Client. It will force all messages in the Drafts folder to be editable, no matter what the Yahoo! server says.
