Why are all my "sent" emails ending up in Draft Folder?

I'm not sure how long this has been happening, but does anyone know how to stop this from happening? I end up double checking my actual Sent folder to be sure my new/response emails did get sent, and not hung up in Draft folder.

Thanks!

    I did not fix it and could not find any MS help, so I went back to the "old" version of Outlook.

    I too was having this issue. I have an M365 account and use the Outlook client installed app on my computer. My settings for "undo send" were set to 0 because I didn't want to do that. Messages sent showed in my sent folder and email string but the draft 'copy' stayed in my draft folder indefinitely until I manually deleted it. I set my undo setting to 5 seconds which resolved the issue. It is now working as expected (for enabling the undo option) but I would like to have the option to turn that feature off entirely.

    I gave up and went back to the classic Outlook.

    MS and any other help links on the internet were not helpful and did not address the problem with any solutions.

    Hi. Has this issue been sorted by Microsoft as yet? It is driving me MAD wondering why no one is responding to me - its because they haven't received my email!
