Gmail sent emails getting saved as draft

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.

I have same issue. Chatted with Microsoft and they couldnt help resolve issue and simply sent me in a circle.  I did the EXACT same steps. Very frustrating. More interestingly, since I could not resolve, I tried to open a new gmail account, only to have same issues with new account. I was not able to send emails and it went straight to drafts.

i just read previous responses, it appears Im not the only one having this issue. Hopefully, it gets resolvedsoon.

Incredibly silly problem that they should fix quickly - tiresome to have to delete drafts that are ultimately sent

I've been a happy user of Outlook on IOS for two years, and today I'm going to delete it and move all of my emails over to Spark application for Email on IOS.   As much as I love Outlook on IOS and love the features, I can't deal with the email bloat of all the drafts showing up.

I'm really surprised that MSFT hasn't taken this issue seriously and get it resolved for the IOS application.  There appears to be no way to turn off the drafts issue.

Its a shame love the product but this problem is just too much of an issue.

I just deleted the app. I can deal with the draft icon showing up

I noted an update to Outlook for iOS this morning and so far I've not had the dreaded drafts dilemma! It may be that they have fixed it without telling Rajesh. I'm sure he will be miffed.
