  • Good day,

    Is there any update on this issue? I would also like to confirm whether I am experiencing the same problem.

    Two of my clients are encountering a similar issue: when sending emails, the messages are saved to Drafts instead of being sent. However, emails sent internally via Sage are delivered successfully.

    Client 1:

    • Two computers
    • Windows 11
    • Microsoft Office 2021 and Microsoft 365 (tested both 32-bit and 64-bit)
    • Same issue occurs on Classic Outlook with Exchange

    Client 2:

    • Windows 10 (64-bit)
    • Microsoft 365
    • Classic Outlook with Exchange
