"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!

Same issue. When I reply to email, it is being sent, I can see it in the Sent folder, but it DOES NOT get removed from Drafts folder. Hence keep showing as unsent emails... Have to restart Outlook and then delete all emails from Drafts folder manually.
From so many message here, I assume this is an issue with the Outlook, not the email provider.
Can someone from Microsoft reply to this? Are you working to resolve this issue? Is it going to be fixed soon?

This is so frustrating. I have identified that if there is a logo within the incoming email to which I want to reply, Windows Mail won't send it but puts it in drafts. There are so many similar comments that Microsoft MUST know about it. FIX THE BLOODY ISSUE - PLEASE. It is now way beyond a joke

Having an issue where emails I send don't always go into the send but go into 'Drafts' instead, this doesn't apply to all emails. I know the emails are sending because I'm getting replies from people.
Issue has started in the last month or so.
TIA. -

Same issue. Mac ver 10.14.1 outlook ver 16.16.4. I can send and reply to text only emails. The important emails that I am replying to and having issues with have attachments and signatures. Just updated the mac OS with a patch before the issue started.

Under File > Options > Mail > Save messages in > change drop down box to Sent.
For some unknown reason this changes itself from time to time.

Reply now goes to Draft. Below there is the field for "Send" which will send the email. It;s crazy. Also when replying to an email, the original email which was received is no longer printed below, so you can't scroll down to refer to it for your reply, which is essential.

I am so sick of seeing forum after forum reporting issues to microsoft with absolutely zero recognition or response. There are companies with 1/1000th of their budget who put them to shame with customer service. The level of disregard they have in proportion to their profit should be made illegal.

This issue is driving me crazy. Did some important emails yesterday to find they all ended up in the drafts folder. Then forwarded them on to the recipients to have them go in the drafts folder again. They are still sitting there and I now don't know how to send them. Microsoft please answer how to fix this problem.
