When I pull down the Notification center on either my iPad or iPhone, it displays 5 emails (I have it set to that), but they are not the unread emails at the top of my inbox. They all appear to be drafts! When I click on them they take me to that particular draft, and I can't seem to find a way to locate and delete that draft. I have looked through all of my accounts and mostly cleared out all the drafts that are listed, but none of them have been the five that show up in my Notification center. It has me stumped as to how that is happening on both of my iDevices. Note that it isn't the same drafts, but only the ones that were created on those devices. Also, when new email comes in, it does display on top of the others.
This is a somewhat recent problem, and both devices have worked as expected before.
So my questions are:
- How do I access a list (and delete) of drafts that have been created
on the iPhone, or iPad itself? - How do I fix the notification center? I suppose if I can delete the drafts, that the problem might go away.

Apple does hide the settings for the drafts folder pretty well, but in general you have a choice of saving drafts on the device or on your mail server. It seems you have set them to be on the device. I suggest moving them to the server.
Here's how I get to the setting for my account. Your path might be slightly different as I think it is different for different kinds of servers:
I like having them on the server as then they are synced everywhere.
