Emails stuck in my draft folder

Finally after about three weeks of these emails being perpetually stuck in my inbox, they have now disappeared.

I think Windows updated, along with New Outlook, and for now at least the issue appears resolved.

Also noted that New Outlook seems to be sending emails more swiftly and is less glitchy.

Hopefully MS has resolved this issue and working to continue to improve New Outlook 👍

"stuck in outbox" Has been particularly bad today. It improved for a while and now is bad again.

I'm dealing with a variation on this theme.

For months, my New M365 Outlook (for Web) has stalled (or flatly refused to send) emails originating from a Group folder. Standard email written from the main Outlook screen works fine. But if I'm in Groups, see an email, and then try to answer from within that Group, it just sits there with the "sending ..." notice at the top of the email window and languishes in my Drafts folder. This is the error message I often (but not always) receive ...

Sometimes, I find out later that it really did send (all evidence to the contrary) because a recipient will answer me ... even though my "send" is still sitting in Drafts. Other times, it never sends at all. Always a real treat, of course, to guess which is true from message to message.

This is nuts. We're not talking about an obscure theme setting or buggy "bell & whistle" that would be nice if it worked but isn't terribly necessary. This is a core function of Outlook: the ability to send email.

What the heck?

Ps. Please, please, please do not reply with the suggestion that I check "permissions" or "log in and log out." If you do, I will buy a fountain pen and faded parchment, curl into a fetal position, and write gibberish in Sanskrit for the rest of my days.

similar reports from throughout my organization, with two people already pen shopping....

Okay, that made me laugh out loud. Thanks for that. :)
