Vista - Window mail - draft and outbox

Hi

I just started to use Window mail on my vista computer....i have two questions. How do i draft an email message..I went to the draft folder to create a draft message and to save it so that later i can continue working on my draft email. How do i do that? that is only one button ...to send or to send later. When I direct it to "send later"...and when I got back..the message in my "outbox" was sent though i did not instruct it to send. How do i rectify these problems....

thanks

If you choose "SAVE" it goes to the draft folder and is not sent out.
If you have a message in the draft folder, you can double click on it and continue editing or complete it.
USE THE "SAVE" option if you don't have time to finish a message, or you want to think it over before you send it.
I believe the program will put a message into the draft folder if you lose power while writing a message.

You can't begin a new message in the Drafts folder.
Always begin a new message from the main screen by clicking on
Create Message. If you don't want to send it right away but want
to continue drafting later, close the composing window. It will ask
if you want the message saved to the Drafts folder.
