Using Outlook for iOS in business environments for email and scheduling
It didn't make any difference in the end. Sorry.

When I send an an email through my gmail account via the Outlook IOS mobile app, the sent email shows up a draft in gmail on my desktop browser. It doesn't show up as a sent email in thread. How do I make sent emails show up as sent and not as a draft?
I tried deleting and reinstalling Outlook on my iphone X. Interestingly, it worked for the first few minutes and then it started saving as draft again. I'm not sure if there was some minor update in between hard re-installs.

MSFT still not interested to take this on priority.
This BUG is not something to be ignored. We don't know & not sure whether the mail was sent or not.
MSFT replied: This is a known bug & there is no timeline for the fix.
:( :( :(
Better kick-out this App from your mobile. Software giant itself not interested in fixing this.

2020-03-12T18:36:42+00:00 I’m having same issue. I have a gmail email address. When I send an email from my iPhone via Outlook, it shows up as a Draft message even though the message actually got delivered and shows as a sent message on my Windows laptop.
