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 gave up and went back to the old MS Email.

    MS folks don't seem interested and the recommended fixes do not work.

    I'm in the classic/old :( still doing this dumb forever copy in draft until I delete it even after I send the message.

    Does this happen before or after you click the Send button? If it happens afterward, does the email only stay in your Drafts folder for a few seconds and then automatically sends, or does it just stay there until you do something with it?

    this happens when I try to send the email and it just sits there it is never sent

    Trick question. It starts as a draft while making the email and then stays there forever even after sent. I have to manually delete it from existence to have it disappear.

    I gave up and went back to the old Outlook mail.

    Microsoft and any of the other so called techs were of not help.

    I got frustrated and went back to the old Outlook.
