"send later" from Web interface ends up in Drafts as READ?

[cyber7]

Hy guys
I don't know if this has been covered, but I can not find this anywhere.

Problem:
1. I compose a message and use the "send later" option in the web interface.
2. When my Outlook sync runs, the message gets a "read" icon instead of a "Scheduled" icon.
3. The "send later" option is then removed.

Is there a way in Zimbra Admin I can remove the usage of Outlook's Drafts? Or, disable the Outlook's behaviour to sync the messages that is on the Zimbra Web Interface with Outlook?

Kind regards

Hi Guys
More on this...

Is there a way to EXCLUDE the syncing of a folder (in this case DRAFTS)?

This, I think, will sort the problem out.

Can you please file a bug at bugzilla.zimbra.com so that this issue can be tracked?

Is there a bug for this, just had a quick look and didn't find one, there's only three that search "send later" and this isn't one. If not I'll file one.

Send later works a treat for looking like you're NOT in bed hung over but if Outlook breaks your send later it just looks like you ARE in bed hung over.

I don't think disabling the sync of the drafts folder is the way to go, it needs a proper fix. Outlook 2010 has "delivery delay" where emails sit in the outbox, wouldn't this make more sense than using the drafts folder ?

Yes please file a bug. Thanks.
