Just the last draft, I think.

I managed to find a work around for this problem today. It appears to
be some incompatibility between gnutls and Exchange 2010. gnutls was
receiving unexpected data after the message had been successfully sent
and I assume reporting failure to wl. So the draft message wasn't
being cleaned up. 

I have just stopped using the IMAP drafts folder and now use a local
maildir instead.

Thanks,
