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.

Using New Outlook on Windows for professional communication and productivity
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Just appalling that Microsoft take money for Office and can't be bothered to fix issues like this. I think I'll move to Google and Open Office
I have much the same problem. Sent mails either get stuck in Drafts or occasionally show up in a random subfolsder. Attempts to send them from Drafts or the subfolder don't work. The only fix seems to be reverting to the old Outlook, when it's simple to fix the problem manually (but annoying to have to do it). The problem is frustrating enough for me to have abandoned using new Outlook until I hear what the fix is.

Since my original email is out of my mail, i try to sent the draft back to my email account . I a message that my inbox is full which isn't true, this has happen to me several times. It seems to create a draft when i send the original email to someone else, I have lost many important emails
I was informed by a high level Microsoft employee last week that this is not a bug, but done by design. They didn't get into it any further from there other than to say that the messages will send after a period of time, but it's not instantaneous anymore. This only affects the "New Outlook" desktop client and the web version. The regular client32 version is still unaffected by this change.
This is not the behavior I am seeing.
Outbound emails have sat for weeks and did not eventually send.
If this is by design, it’s broken as designed and useless.
