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): I am Replying to or Forwarding an email from my Inbox. If I Archive the original email in my Inbox after finishing my Reply immediately after hitting 'Send'. In other words, if I don't wait 3-5 seconds to ensure it sends first. The email will get STUCK in Drafts and never Send. There's nothing I can do to Send it. I have to go find the original email and retype and send the message. Feel free to watch this short video showcasing exactly what's happening: https://youtu.be/yv3797dJlj8 Thoughts?

August 13, 2024. I've had this issue since Monday the 10th. As new alpha & beta testers for Microsoft, can we write off the cost to our business productivity because of this "feature"? I mean, since we're not being compensated for testing MS products, there has to be some advantage, right? </sarc>

Hi. 13th August 2024. Just started today. Any email written now sits in drafts. Can't see any solution so far.

both cases I've seen, happen to be using MacBook's. Unsure if this correlates with anyone else's experiences.

Nope. It's been going on for awhile. Still no resolution. Had issues with it today.

Hello all, Has this issue been resolved as of August 2024?
