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

This seems to be happening more and more for me, I'm on Outlook 16.88, but I have found a workaround that so far has worked every time. When this error comes up, I quit Outlook, re-launch, then click in the Inbox the email thread, and then on the Draft message in the thread I click 'Resume Editing' button on the right, then Send.
This is back. After a long time...this error is back.
I'm still having this issue, and I'm updated to the latest versions of Mac and Outlook.
I have to delete attachments in-line from signatures from other people's emails in a thread to work. Very frustrating.
I completely removed outlook, restarted my mac, reinstalled outlook for Mac, did the Microsoft updater. And still can't respond to emails. It gives the red error box at bottom.... I am running Sonoma.
I've had no resolution, have been dealing with it for months now. Microsoft sent me one suggestion that I followed through with and it didn't change a thing, when I told them that didn't resolve it, they ignored my response. They clearly aren't taking the problem seriously.
