Bug Description
When composing mail in thunderbird with (imap, gmail), drafts are correctly stored in [Google Mail]/Drafts. But a single message may be stored multiple times as multiple message drafts instead of multiple times as the same message. And on sending, the draft is often not deleted, resulting in a Drafts folder with quite a lot of garbage in it. Somewhat worse, the garbage incorrectly gives the impression that the original mails were not sent.

Confirmed with 17.0.6+ build1- 0ubuntu0. 13.04.1.
However, my problem appears to be solely with the Android Gmail app, and not the Gmail web interface. Looking at the thread, which contains the draft(s), there is a new draft for every manual or automatic save of a draft.
