Go tro Drafts , in Outlook if you have set itup there to link to your online email such as gmail for example, check that you have selected how many days to keep messages on the server in settings - uncheck that (google how to do this ) also in drafts then go to the folder and click on clean up folder by right clicking on it , select clean up folder, scroll down till you find the option to keep unsent messages in drafts and unselect that option completely , then close that settings menu go back to drafts and right click on it and delete everything in drafts if you know for a fact that the messages have been sent also i suggest when you setup outlook try setting it up using it as a pop and smtp account instead of an imap account (google the settings) you wont have this issue imap accounts that are automatically setup in outlook the easy way have a habit of resyncing and takes longer to get email where as pop accounts manually setup do not

Same problem with my mac. Noticed dates of comments and the problem started around the end of May and 1st week in June. I noticed on June 8 when I tried to reply from an email and compose too.
I did go into very old emails (last year's) and was able to send a message as a reply but only once. After my reply was answered I couldn't send a second reply. It went to draft. Someone mentioned it might be a problem in Preference. When I try to send my email the little butterfly symbol along with 'send' appears but nothing happens -

There is a comment on upgrading to Mac OS High Sierra. I checked and this was done last month, but has not solved the problem.

One consolation: it isn't just me! The four commands are on the toolbar, always have been.

I started having the exact same problem as of today morning, but only with Google account on Safari / Mac.
Gmail seems to work pretty well on Modzilla / Mac and on Gmail App / Android, phone and tablet.

Hi. I am having the same problem messages going straight to draft and not being sent. Have followed most basic fixes including emptying caches, restoring to earlier date and updating browser. Has anyone had any joy in getting this problem resolved? Thanks

I'm having this same problem. I've used outlook, gmail, yahoo for many years and never had this issue. I've heard some explanations that had to do with connection speed and server time-out. But connection speed or server time-out should not effect the draft closing when send has been pressed. You hit send, the draft goes away. Shouldn't it be that simple?

My sent emails are going to the Draft Folder and then after 32 seconds (I timed it) they move to the Sent Folder. What do I need to do to resolve this problem? Thanks in advance. Max
