Hello
I have emails that appear and disappear in my draft folder but aren't appearing in 'sent.' It's hugely worrying and has happened twice now. They don't have large attachments but there is one recipient in common - could it be something to do with their email address?
Using New Outlook on Windows for professional communication and productivity

I just read through all of the posts about the emails being stuck in the draft folder. I thought I was doing something incorrectly, the first couple of times.
I did start bringing my fountain pens to work!!!!!!!
Two months now, and my emails are still stuck in Drafts. It's a good thing I moved everything to Gmail two months ago. We have a business and had to move everything to Gmail just to keep going. But we have 6 years of business in Outlook, so we have to go back to Outlook when we need to find something from the past.
I am not thrilled about going back to Old Outlook because the current version does have some nice, new features. But, certainly, I have abandoned any pretense of mailing from within a Group. I stay outside ... in the regular Inbox area ... and transmit messages from my standard screen.
That’s dreadful. Since my last post I have noticed also that even if the draft folder is empty and appears the message has been sent they’re also not always in the sent files. You’re right I have felt like a total idiot multiple times for work. I have reverted back to old outlook in the interim.
I am also experiencing this issue. I am currently searching for a job and learned DAYS after the fact that my email never got sent out. This is extremely concerning. Today I was contacted about a job interview and learned hours later that my response email never got sent out. Now I am nervous that when I went in and sent the draft that multiple emails got sent out and it looks extremely unprofessional.
