"Send" goes to drafts
Everything I "send" goes to drafts and doesn't get sent.

We think we’ve fixed this issue. Please let us know if you are still having issues!

What is the fix? I am on a Mac using Outlook and all my emails are going to drafts and hanging for about 5 minutes.

I'm having this issue on Android - the 'stuck messages' in Drafts folder will not send from Drafts folder (it used to happen occasionally but would allow sending after failure). I depend on reliable email for work and this is disappointing.

I am having the same issue...inbound email is working fine, but outbound email goes to my drafts folder and sits there for about five minutes before miraculously sending. the time stamp on the sent mail is not the time i wrote the email, but the time it finally left the drafts folder. sometimes 5 minutes can be critical when sending business emails!

I fixed the problem. I got the message "At least one recipient isn't valid. All recipients must be resolved before a message can be submitted." I fixed the email address and it sent instead of just getting sent to drafts.

You haven't "fixed this issue." This keeps happening to me as well. A clue to the problem might be that this only happens to my e-mails when I am working remotely (which is, of course, all the time now). It has never happened when I work (or worked) from my office. Just one of the many annoyances of Outlook, a shoddy product in my opinion.

I found my receive connectors had somehow been removed after a patch. I rebuilt all 5 and it solved the issue. Here is a link of how to rebuild. https://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0001314

When I press 'Send' everything goes into the 'Drafts' folder. I was unaware of this until I realised people had not received emails from me and I checked my 'Drafts' folder and they were all there.
How can I fix this problem? -

HELP!
I have been sending emails sine Tuesday 4th August 2020 thinking they have sent but actually in the drafts folder! What is going on? Anyone in this forum think its outlook issue rather than me personally? Absolute nightmare, anyone have any ideas? I click send and it goes right into the draft box!
