Hello,
We have recently noticed a problem with our Exchange 2013 OWA autosave feature for drafts:
For the most part, we see the following behavior:
- User opens a new e-mail or responds to e-mail
- Draft folder shows new draft automatically
- user closes edited e-mail without saving, draft remains saved
But, in the case of INTERNAL e-mail addresses with subdomains (i.e. bob@test.contoso.com), we see the following
- User creates new e-mail or replies to e-mail
- Draft folder shows new draft for the corresponding e-mail
- user closes e-mail, draft is immediately deleted
I will note that if a user explicitly saves the draft, it remains saved, but any edits must also be saved explicitly.
So far, the only cause is that any internal addresses has a subdomain, it will fail. Regardless of whether the address exists in AD or not, so we can't tie t to that, it also is not an issue for external addresses, subdomain or not. Here's an
example of what we see from OWA:
So to test this I randomly pick a message in OWA, hit reply, type something and then click another message.
These are the requests if I reply to a particular mail and OWA saves the Draft.
