CreateDraft Method
Creates a new email draft.
Syntax
public void createDraft(int draftType, String id);
Remarks
This method creates a new draft in the Drafts folder. The created message's information, including the draft's message id, is also added to the MessageInfo collection. As a note, this will not clear the collection but will add it to the end.
Valid values for DraftType :
0 | DRAFTTYPE_MESSAGE |
1 | DRAFTTYPE_REPLY |
2 | DRAFTTYPE_REPLYALL |
3 | DRAFTTYPE_FORWARD |
Important Notes
When using DRAFTTYPE_MESSAGE, pass in an empty string as the id. The created draft will be built using the Message* properties (i.e. MessageTo, MessageSubject, MessageFrom, etc.).
When using DRAFTTYPE_REPLY, DRAFTTYPE_REPLYALL, or DRAFTTYPE_FORWARD the id parameter can be used to specify the message that is being replied to or forwarded. Also, the created draft will NOT be built with the Message* properties. Instead, the created draft will be empty (except for the From field). The Update method can be used instead to fill in the different parts of the message.
