Windows 10: Email scheduled to send but I cannot find it in the "sent" or "draft" folders

I wrote and scheduled an email to send this morning but I now cannot find it under either the draft or sent folders in outlook. Did it send? What do I do to find it? I sent it to a supervisor but don't want to ask them if they got it as this is a very formal setting.

windows live mail sent emails appear in draft sent folder and not sent folder

I'm not sure I understand how you know that the message in your drafts folder is sent. Is there some visible indication of this or are you assuming that it went and now sits in the drafts folder?

Anyway, I'm sure you're sending emails properly, but to confirm with you the following: when you compose an email and save it in Drafts, it will remain in Drafts even though you hit the Send/Receive button to send it. While in Drafts, it needs to be double-clicked
back into the edit screen and then you press Send. It then goes into the Outbox folder and when you press Send/Receive it then goes to the recipient and your email gets saved in the Sent Folder. I just state this to make sure that this is all correct with
you and that's what you have been doing.

If the above is what you have been doing, then I suggest that you send a test email back to yourself. Does this email still mysteriously moves into the Drafts folder? And do you eventually receive it into your Inbox?

If you are not receiving your email back to yourself and it moves from Outbox and into Drafts folder as Sent, then I would ask, is your email account a Pop3 or IMAP account?

One other thing: when in Live Mail, click on View and then on Storage Folders. A new listing Storage Folder with sub folders will appear on the left. Are there any emails (particularly the email in question) found in any of the boxes under Storage Folders?

 

Sent emails still in Draft folder

I am finding that emails that have been sent are still sitting in the draft folder. They will not delete immediately but over time seem to correct and leave the draft folder.

I run ESET antivirus but this does not seem to find a solution.

Thanks for any suggestions

 

Emails going to drafts folder instead of being sent

Emails going to sent folder instead of being sent

only to find it in the "drafts" folder.

I recommend you do this to clarifiy your post:

• Fix the wording. It is either the "Sent" or the "Drafts" folder but not both.
• State which mail system you use. There are about a dozen popular ones.
