public function set Drafts(String);

Property Value

A string value indicating the drafts name for Exchange WebDav.

Remarks

If you choose Exchange WebDAV protocol, you need to input your "Drafts" mail folder name here. Default name is "Drafts", but if your default language is not English in Exchange Server, your drafts name will be another name in your language. For example, if your default language is Chinese, your drafts name is "草稿", then you should input your drafts name here.
For SMTP and Exchange Web Service protocol, you can simply ignore this property.
