Bug in Entourage 2004 causing you to loose emails?

B

I think one of my users may have discovered an odd bug in Entourage
2004 that caused him to loose an email he had been working on. Here is
how to reproduce it:

1. create an email (put some text in the body, address it to someone,
etc..)
2. save it in your drafts folder
3. navigate to your drafts folder and view the email in the preview
pane (don't double-click on it to open it)
4. drag the email from your drafts to your inbox, and POOF...the email
disappears! It doesn't go into your inbox, it doesn't remain in your
drafts, it just disappears without any warning. Try it!

Now, I know there isn't any reason to WANT to copy an email from drafts
to your inbox, but given that there are not-so-savy users out there
that might do this by mistake, I think this "bug" could be quite
annoying.

Just thought I'd share...

I tried it. No problem, no bug. I can find the message in my Inbox. I tried
this with both a local POP message and a IMAP message. No problem in either
case. Entourage 2004 11.2.3 - what version are you and your "user" (how many
users do you have?) using?
