In OWA, how can I postpone a message and re-open it later?

Note: OWA now has the same functionality across major browsers in most cases; see In Outlook Web App (OWA), what are the "Premium" and "Light" interfaces? For more information on using OWA, with your Inbox displayed, click ? (the question mark) at the top right.

When you use Outlook Web App (OWA) to compose a message, you can save the message and continue composing it later. Click the Save icon (it looks like a floppy disk). OWA will save the message in the Drafts folder; when it's finished, you'll see "Done" in the bottom left of your browser screen.

Note: To check that your message is saved, from the folder menu, click Mail and then Drafts. You should see the message you just saved.

To re-open the message and continue composing:

  1. In the Folder menu, click Mail, and then click Drafts.

  2. Click the subject of the message to open it and resume composing. You can then send the message or postpone it again.

Note: Some early versions of OWA save the unfinished message in the Inbox, not in the Drafts folder.
