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

    Still an issue. Occurring on latest OS and Outlook build

    Mac OS: Sonoma 14.0

    Outlook version: 16.79 (23101801)

    Severely degrading for all users.

    How is it possible that MS have not yet fixed this issue. It's driving me crazy.
