I have this really odd thing - where I can't send mail through Mail on a specific LAN.

Anyway - I thought I'd be clever and save the mail as a draft, then use .mac webmail to send the draft.

I couldn't figure out how to do this (or edit draft messages.)

Was I being stupid, or is this not possible on the $100 per year service?

I doubt that's possible. You could write your message in Mail.app, then copy/paste it to webmail. It's a pain but better than nothing...

Works for me.

Make sure you've checked 'Store draft messages on the server' in the Special Mailboxes tab under Mail.app's Account prefs.

Login to your .mac webmail Inbox, select Drafts from the Go To menu, then click on the title of your draft message to open it.

From here you should be able to edit the message text and subject etc, and hit Send all within your browser.

I think the important word here is 'should'.

Alas - it seems like we can't edit drafts. I have sent feedback to .mac.

I just tried it... it worked perfectly for me. Created a message in Mail, saved it as draft (with no recipient yet), went to .Mac webmail and typed in my email and sent it. Received it like 3 seconds later ;-)
