Hey @Imperol3,

We have created an internal ticket to look into this which we will be tracking as "GHC-360"

[Joffcom]

Hey @Imperol3,

This is currently intentional but the good news is a PR for adding a new feature around this was opened yesterday which can be found here: https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/pull/11441

As this was by design and an option to disable this will be added in a future release I am going to mark this as closed, Let me know if you have any questions on this.

[Imperol3]

I agree it was intentional, but its getting wrong stuff done

Imagine login in 10 drafts and all are logged in as new mailboxes and next steps dine?

It would be better to disable This in production n8n versions. Its bringing chaos to an otherwise straight forward functionality

Trigger on new email received, for thd drafg have that under draft trigger

Kind regards Zacharia

Hey @Imperol3,

The PR adds the option to disable the functionality for existing users and for new users / workflows it will be disabled by default this allows any users who do want to use it for drafts to continue doing that.

[Imperol3]

Ok, thanks for the clarification Jon
