I use my gmail account in thunderbirdapp on windows 11. When I start to compose an email in thunderbird app, it will create a draft after few minutes automatically (this happens when i am drafting a long email like work email that takes 10 15 mins with breaks in between). The draft gets saved in the 'draft' section in thunderbird app and also on gmail web as well (gmail android app or gmail from gmail.com). When I finally send the email from thunderbird app, the draft from the thunderbird app gets removed however the draft in my gmail web REMAINS. I do see the sent mail in the 'sent' folder in both thunderbird app as well as my gmail web or android gmail app however a copy still remains in drafts in gmail app/web. This creates an issue where i have multiple drafts in my gmail which only show when i access gmail from gmail app or on web. Please help me fix this issue. For reference some info is below regarding my setting of thunderbird app on my windows 11. The settings of the android app for drafts is set by default by the app to Kepp drafts in: other :Drafts in [email protected]. This setting was set automatically when i started using the thunderbird app. Thanks.

Are you using Thunderbird 115? I recall such and issue some time back in an older version I think that was fixed. Hence asking about using the latest version.
