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.

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?
Microsoft Please fix this issue.
we are paying for something that is not fit for purpose,
I have the exact problems described above and have tried the same :"solutions", all for nothing. The mail does not send but rather sits in draft folder forever. I also have Spectrum mail.
This program ? is not ready for prime time. Why should it take 10 or 15 minutes to send?

I found this on another thread and it seems to have fixed this issue for me.
"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!"
Yeah, this is what I'm experiencing as well.
It sends the email fine, but I'm still left with a draft, usually blank.
