Emails stuck in my draft folder

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?

    I don't think it's a browser vs. desktop issue. I use the Web version all the time ... almost exclusively, in fact. And that's where the problem has repeatedly surfaced.

    Interesting, all the users reporting it are exclusively on Desktop. I also use the browser version exclusively but have not experienced the problem.

    Seems to be across the board in our office. Have reverted back to the old version for now.

    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.

    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.
