    The Drafts folder should synchronize with the Exchange's Draft folder, as all other folders do. At least make it configurable, if it causes problems for some users.

    when replying to all to emails in outlook android which have cc or bcc, clicking reply all kicks me out of reply screen and copies blank message to drafts.

    sync draft messages from other devices on an added IMAP email account. Draft messages do not appear across all devices.

    @Admin: Wow, the feature being available in iOS is not really helpful in the Outlook for Android section of uservoice :/

    I second that. It turns out the ability to sync an imap drafts folder has not been implemented yet and it is unknown why, especially when this reportedly works for ios

    This person asked for Android and NOT about iOS.

    As I was informed by the support that, unfortunately, draft sync is not available in the app for gmail.com and IMAP accounts. Draft sync is available only for Office365 and outlook.com accounts.

    Please make it work with Gmail and IMAP accounts. Otherwise, I'll stop using the app, as I work in different devices

    Allow draft messages, whether in Outlook or Outlook Mobile (Android) to sync from one to the other when using MS Exchange server.
    I often start longer email messages at my desk and before finishing them, have an opportunity to work on them on my phone, but can't.
    Also, there are times I start an email on my phone, but need more info to complete the email back in the office; I usually end up throwing away these draft emails in my phone.

    We actually still don't support Drafts sync for Exchange accounts. We only have this for Outlook.com and Office 365 accounts at the moment. We already have a pending request to add such option or other account types. Hopefully, we'll be seeing this soon. If you want something like this to be implemented too, send it in as a feature request by going to Settings > Help & Feedback > Suggest a Feature. This will then be sent to our dev team for consideration and will help raise the priority of the request.
