When composing an email which may take 15 to 20 minutes to complete for various reasons once sent it correctly goes to who it should and the email goes to the sent folder. However I also receive in my inbox the email(s) albeit not sent to myself nor cc'ed. The emails are of various stages of the composed email. Checking the settings is this the "Auto Save every 5 minutes" in composition?

It looks like drafts are being saved in the Inbox instead of their own Drafts folder. Check the location under Tools/Account Settings in the Copies & Folders section. If this is an IMAP account, it's usually more efficient to save drafts in a Drafts subfolder of Local Folders.
