Android outlook draft messages DISAPPEAR

Really !!!!ing me off now. I've opened several draft in my hotmail outlook app on the phone, of which you can see the preview beforehand, but once I open the thing there is NOTHING THERE

I've lost several draft now, because when I go back, it asks me to save, cancel or discard changes and I've put discard and it saves the empty bloody message.

What the hell is happening?

I deleted a load of inbox messages on my phone the other day but didn't touch draft.

Anyway of retrieving the dam things?

    So it's not synced to my desktop either

    I cannot open any draft to forward onto my self as they go blank when I do.

    What the bloody hell is going on

    If you press discard changes then that is exactly what it will do.

    Sorry if I discard changes then it saves the original draft, of which I can see the preview but not full message when I try reopen.

    If I press save which I stupidly did, it saves the empty draft (ie deletes/remove the actual draft)

    This is the app I've been using for my android. I understand a downfall is that it doesn't sync draft to desktop

    Any solutions or have I effectively lost all bloody drafts and can't compose drafts anymore?

    It will sync drafts if you are using an Exchange account, that is how my company has it set up.
