When i reply to emails sometimes the message does not register in the sent folder but goes in the draft folder instead, how do i know if my email has been sent?

I have several Hotmail & Outlook accounts and I can use the drop-down menu to choose which one to use as the sender but sometimes if I don't use the actual email account (as the sender) that I am actually logged into at that moment, then it will not send the email and will put it in the Drafts folder instead.
I went to the draft folder, chose the edit option and changed the sender email to the actual one that I was currently logged into, and that draft was FINALLY sent out.

If it is in drafts then the message has not been sent. you can open it from drafts and then click on send, you should then be able to see the message is no loonger in drafts but is now in the sent tiems folder.

hi this is kamal here to help u...

The message was never actually sent. Make sure you actually sent the message by checking in your Sent folder. Is it there? If not, you might not have sent it. Do you remember seeing the "Mail Sent" confirmation page that appears after clicking "Send"? It's a page that confirms your email message has been sent successfully.
The message was saved as a draft. Did you click "Save Draft" by accident? It's the button right next to "Send." Check to see if you saved a draft by clicking your Draft folder.
The message was not addressed properly. You might have accidentally entered a different email address than the one you intended, or entered a typo that actually turns out to be a real email address. Check to see if this happened by looking in your Sent folder. Take a close look at the address information. Did you write something weird?
The message was delayed. Most messages are delivered within a few minutes. But messages can sometimes be delayed while in transit due to heavy Internet traffic or routing problems. This kind of delay can last for several hours or more.
Other possibilities. Occasionally, interruptions or disruptions in email transmissions over the Internet render your message undeliverable. This is very rare, but it does happen. Unfortunately, aside from waiting, there is no way to know for certain whether a message has been delayed or whether it has been rendered undeliverable. The best solution is to re-send your message. You can find it in your Sent folder.

try to check your internet connection if its ok ...
sometimes you get packet loss if you have problems with the network.

Disable your internet connection. Start Outlook, Select all of the messages in your Draft box and drag them to the Delete folder.
Just curious, how did your get so many draft message in the draft box?

Are you on wireless? If so, is your connection coming and going?

Anyway I would copy and paste your email to Notepad, Wordpad, or whatever you would like right now so you don't lose everything you typed. Just a temporary thing until the other thing gets worked out.

Once you have clicked send and the e-mail has been sent it is out of your control and it cannot be stopped. However you can make sure that have actually sent the e-mail. Check your Drafts folder and see if the mail is there. If you find it there it has not been sent and you can discard the e-mail instead of sending it.
