Hello Microsoft Community. I've seen various versions of this bug around and it seems to not be getting resolved. It would be great if others could simulate my use case for this bug and confirm it's not just me - as well as pose a solution or help me get Microsoft to address it!
In a nutshell, emails in the New Outlook (PC) will get stuck in 'Drafts' forever in the following scenario (imap emails):

Just started happening to me today.
These are new emails, not replies or forwardings.
I noticed it there and have tried to SYNC to get the draft emails to send, but they don't.
They sit there... Not really good enough!
Exactly the same happening to me. Very annoying.
I have the same issue. I shouldn't have to remember to check my drafts folder!!! It has cost me big time. Very important email was not sent and was hidden in my inbox as a draft. Only found it when i went looking for the reply i thought i sent about 4 weeks later. This IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. It needs to be fixed ASAP. We all rely on this technology now so it should operate as expected.
If you open the email and try to send it, it tells you that the email has changed but then asks if you want to save the changes. Say yes and the email will appear in your IN box from where you can open it and send it.
Same problem. Emails will either get stuck in drafts and not send at all or some are in drafts but they are in the sent folder as well. It's so frustrating that this hasn't been corrected yet!
