Hello! I´m new to n8n but i love it now 🙂 I used [make.com](http://make.com) before and i just have one workflow: read mail via imap, ask openAi assistant, use result and make a draft mail. In [make.com](http://make.com) its not a problem, just use the send mail node and make it to the “draft” folder. How can i make a mail draft in n8n? I only could find the “send mail” function. I don´t have gmail, i have my own mailserver via netcup. ☹ Can you help me? Maybe there is an workaround 🙂 Best regards David ---

Hello there @davidhaller! Thanks for being a part of the community. We’re excited to have you join and start using n8n! 🎉 Before I suggest anything, I’d love to learn more about your setup and plans. So first - do you intend to later send these draft emails via n8n? Or do you plan on sending them manually? ---

Hey Ludwig! Thanks for your quick answer. At the moment i want to send the drafts manually - but maybe there is an other option 🙂 Is it for example possible to send me the original mail + the draft via telegram and add two buttons “send” and “cancel” and when i click send the draft will be send? 🙂 when i click cancel i should have the option to type in another text and send this or to cancel complete. Maybe this is another idea. But i think a mail draft is the much easier solution? 🙂 ---

Hi @davidhaller! If you are okay with sending them manually then you could look into sending emails into a draft folder within the mail server. After consideration, I can’t specifically recommend anything else due to my own lack of familiarity with netcup and due to a lack of documented use cases for their service. Instead, I recommend reaching out to their team [via their support team](https://helpcenter.netcup.com/en/support) or ask in [their forum](https://forum.netcup.de/). Best of luck and happy building! ---

hm… i don´t know how i can send a mail to a draft folder when the smtp node not support that. 🙂 In make for example i can use the send mail /smtp node and just click on “draft” and it will make a draft in the draft folder. 🙂 ---

Hi, i am also struggling with this right now, My first idea is to send a mail to myself, but setting reply-to option with original mail - so i can just click reply in my inbox and work with it like a normal mail/draft. My second idea is also send draft to myself but include original mail address in 1st line of mail body, so i can quickly cut it ans click forward and then paste the recipient but maybe there is another way? ---
