The Draft Folder in Outlook is just like any other folder in that, if you wish to store multiple items in it, you may.

The total item and folder limits depend on the version of Outlook as listed here. 

Outlook 2010, 2013 and 2016:

  • 100,000 items per folder
  • 500 folders total

Outlook 2007:

  • 50,000 items per folder
  • 500 folder total

Note that even approaching these limits may impact performance.
