Yes, this is the same for me. Is there anyone to contact at MSFT that can get this resolved?

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.

I've had this problem since February - I'll compose and send a message, only to realise hours later that it never sent and was sitting in my 'drafts' folder. If I try to send it again from there it never goes, I generally have to copy the text, paste it into a new email and send that. Some days it hardly happens, today it took me four tries to send a four-word email. Incredibly frustrating. I'm in the habit of checking the drafts folder several times a day to make sure there aren't emails sitting in there that I thought I'd send. Would appreciate some response from microsoft on this, even if it's just to confirm it's a known issue and is being worked on.
I am having the same problem. Messages will stick in drafts for more than day. You cannot get them to send and have to redo the message
How can you have an email application that doesnt send email?
Thank you for the reply. It is a very irritating bug. I am going to follow your solution.
Same problem. Random new messages and replies get stuck in drafts. Error message, saying in cannot send.
Very annoying and dangerous if you don't check. To solve this problem I copy whole email content of the message and paste into a new message.
It seems to be a known problem and should be fixed.
