When you update your computer, do your draft emails get sent automatically?

[miamiibiza]

I'm in shock currently.

Last night I received screen shots from my partner's ex of an email that has been sent to them that day. Sent to them from my partner.

It was a lovey, gushing email basically saying that their biggest regret was losing them, and that she wishes everyday she hadn't chosen the alternative path (me?!)

My partner denies sending it. She said she wrote it a year ago, and her computer had an update which automatically sent all her email drafts.
Is this possible?

The ex girlfriend also sent me a couple of texts from my partner sent her 3 weeks ago, asking to talk.

I left my home last night, taking my 3 year old to my mums. I'm nearly 4 months pregnant too.

Any advice? Or words of wisdom.

I think the relationship is over, but my partner is adamant that she's done nothing wrong.

not that I am aware of.

I don’t think so no. People use drafts for all sorts of things.. there’s no reason for an update to make them suddenly send out of the blue xx

Unlikely - BUT - having had an ex guess my passwords (or rather I hadnt changed them) they then got into my emails and created fresh ones to my new partner at the time.

I cant explain the texts though, but any thing can be faked

As far as I know, this is not possible.

Had many many years in computers. Pretty tech savvy on windows and mac. Never heard of drafts being sent because of an update.

For me personally, the email combined with the texts would make me doubt this story.

Sorry but I have to agree with the previous posters, I've worked in tech for many years (20+) and I've never heard of this happening.

I hope not. I wrote letters/emails all the time in a cathartic way which I would Never Send. I think I better check and delete them 🙈

No it's nonsense. The function would be such a liability for the programmers and program companies. It's a farce OP.

Drafts are definitely not sent with an update.

I use drafts for drafting out emails and messages that get changed over a few days until I am happy with final draft. If they got sent with every update I would be out of work.

That is on Windows and Mac.

No, sorry. She sent the email and has come up with a shitty excuse

Not possible as far as I know

It's a crock of shit, as you know. Any webmail server that had a weakness where it would inadvertently send Draft messages from the client would be unfit for purpose, if it is even logistically possible considering that Draft emails are stored server-side anyway.

Sorry OP, but it's exactly what you think it is.

Oh what a horrible situation for you OP.

I'm not an expert by any means, I can only say that a draft email sending itself has never happened to me.

So you've been together a year and are 4 months pregnant? How?

And you already have a DC?

I'm a developer, this does not happen.

So not only was she the most unlucky person in the world with all her drafts being mysteriously sent, but also her ex is faking realistic-looking texts?

I'm sorry. It's Occums Razor. And as everyone else has said, draft emails are kept server side and they don't send on updates, that'd be atrocious.

I'm so sorry

So you've been together a year and are 4 months pregnant? How?

presumably they had sex?

OP, I agree it is what you think. I have used all sorts of tech for over 25 years and have never had this happen.

I guess its time to sort the practicals out.

theonewiththecats looks like a same sex relationship, hence the crass question from a pp.

good point - I missed the same sex bit

Oh dear OP, I'm sorry

@Crunchymum

We are both women. I had my DS via IVF alone, and I embarked on this second IVF journey alone too.

I was friends with my partner before it developed into a relationship. Obviously now I wish the relationship had never happened.

Thank you everyone for confirming what I thought. I've now got lots to sort. My DS and the new baby will give me the strength I need

Good luck 💐

Yep sorry OP, not possible. You need to get rid

*So you've been together a year and are 4 months pregnant? How?

presumably they had sex?*

I think the confusion is that it appeats to be a same sex couple op refers to her partner as 'she' when op says OP says 'she says she did write them over a year ago and they were in her drafts"
But then says sge herself is pregnant.

But i do agree with you being together with some one a year and being 4 months pregnant doesnt warent a 'how?' Really as actuslly thats 8 months of not fallimg pregnant. Some people fall pregnant on first time having sex.

As for the already having children and the 'how?' In terms if that is ridiclous because straight or gay ....previous partners

I know the OP is is in a same sex relationship.

I'd be asking the same questions if it was a heterosexual relationship (barring the "how" ..... which OP kindly answered)

8 months isn't long to have been with someone to get pregnant, when you have another child already? This isn't the case with the OP, who as I said very kindly answered my questions!
