Windows 11
Microsoft 365
New Outlook
Issue is with sending from outlook.com as well as email address from an internet provider. IMAP/SMTP
Emails are saved in the draft folder and sometimes are sent after a delay of 5 minutes. The email takes another 5-10 minutes to arrive at the recipient email address.

2024-07-03T10:01:59+00:00 I continue to get replies from people who share the issue of outgoing emails actually not being sent off bei New Outlook but sticking in the drafts folder (where nobody excpects them to be). - Ok, we have a problem .....
The challenge however is to get Microsofts´ attention on fixing the bug: who has a way to deal with that? - Please get active on supporting alleys that lead to a solution!

2024-06-12T09:49:22+00:00 Ah, we migrated to Exchange 365 and started using Outlook (thunderbird before with our mail server) and instantly got this problem. How to fix that? Any solutions?

"I could receive emails but not send on both my phone and my laptop. I had mobile.charter.net as the server for both incoming and outgoing. I switched the outgoing server to mail.charter.net on both devices and now I can send on both devices! Thank you Carl Greenwald!"
