(New Outlook) Email Stuck in Draft Folder Forever & Not Sending

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.

Thoughts?

I have been experiencing the same issue for months. If I don't check the drafts or sent folder daily, email does not always get sent! Frustrating!

I have the 'send buffer' on and it all worked fine until recently where I find the emails do send but a copy also stays in my drafts folder. Makes it much harder to see genuine drafts I am working on !

There's no sign of a fix from Microsoft. I've come to the conclusion that new Outlook is a dud, and I've switched to another (bug-free) mail client.

How can we get this fixed. It is so frustrating!

I have retyped the same reply three times now and they are all just stacking up in the drafts folder and not sending. I have resorted to using my classic outlook to send messages as it is not working from the new outlook.... I am so fed up with this version and do not understand why Microsoft has done nothing about it......
