"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!

Yep, same problem. Started with the latest update. Resetting my apps hasn't been a viable solution either.

I am having the same issue and it is just ridiculous!!! I will hit the top left SENT button (arrow), and it will go to the DRAFT folder. I will then retype the message and hit the bottom left SENT (button), and THAT will go to the DRAFT folder! What is the deal???

My sent emails have been going to draft ever since the new update. They sit in draft for hours and then will send 50 copies to the email address. I hate this. Trying to find out how to fix it but my outlook program only has basic settings and no way to correct this.
I am about to delete this program and go with something else. I would never reccomend this program to anyone -

Outlook is terrible, screen flashes, buttons don't work, when I try to reply to an email, it creates drafts is so slow

OMG. Seriously. I’m so happy there are other ppl with the same issue. I thought I was going crazy until I stumbled upon this thread searching for a solution. I press send and immediately the email goes to the draft folder. Help. Me.

I am having the same problem with Outlook 365 on my pc. 26 drafts and even when I go into each draft and send it, it remains in the draft folder but a copy of it does send. So so so very annoying and unprofessional.

See link on how to modify this feature. I had same issue and noticed there is a setting that automatically saves messages in the Draft folder if the email is not sent within 3 minutes. The link will show you where to adjust this setting.

Any fix guys???? I have the same issue and emails don't send they sit in drafts, I only noticed after I found 20 emails in my drafts folder, so unprofessional as it is a work email account.

I have been seeing the same issue on an iPad Pro 12.9 running Outlook 2.99. When it Happens an error message comes up: “The email is not available on the server and could not be sent” if I then go into the drafts folder I can send the email. If I forward the email a second time it sends without any problems. I’m not 100% sure but I think it only happens with emails with attachements.
Is this network, account or device?
What troubleshooting steps can you recommend? -

Hello Microsoft
Why is it that not one of the 126 comments that exist as I write, all of which are complaints about an issue that has plagued Outlook for long enough, have not had the courtesy of one single response from what is rapidly becoming MiserableSoft? No doubt, MS has invested substantial resources in tracking and storing our every move through yournetwork and there can be no doubt that you are fully aware of this issue and many others that are a by-product of often appers as hasten-to-market Software and patch releases. Come on MS...get your act together. I love your products but am totally unimpressed with your you know what !! -

about to wipe my phone and start over. This appears to be a result of the latest ios upgrade. Has anyone found a fix before I pull the trigger?

My replies are not being sent. I later find them in the Drafts folders. This only started a week or so ago, but it's incredibly annoying when you think you've sent a reply and are waiting on a response, yet your email wasn't sent.
