Hi everyone - has anyone had issues with sending emails using Outlook 365 for Macs? Especially a red error box that appears at the bottom (attached) and says "Message failed to send Open" The email is then stuck in drafts with the option to continue editing but it is simply frozen in drafts and the only way is to delete and try again. Alternatively, you can go to the webmail version of outlook, find the drafts folder and send from there. This has been happening on/off for several weeks now, no pattern, just happens occasionally.

This version of Outlook 365 is absolutely **** with so many issues

    It's almost like nobody at Microsoft is communicating...

    This is causing continuous issues with our client comms. This is a pretty significant issue for an email service...

    Hi Eleni,

    I'm scratching my head as to why this bug is still around.

    It's quite simple. As soon as you reply to a mail with sort sentence structures, it won't send. For instance, "Yes it's approved"

    Then when changing it to "Hi John, Yes, the social post has been approved" it will send.

    It's very frustrating when you want to do quick replies.

    I hope it get's resolved soon!

    Agree - Glad i started this post as so many people are affected by this!

    I've troubleshooted this to death and there is no pattern.

    For us, certain email addresses are affected for a few days at a time and then moves on to someone else in the business.

    I wish Apple would create their own decent mail and office system so we can all tell **** to do one and go away!

    100%, not the prob. No third-party plugins and certainly no Jira.
