How to stop Office 2016 save a copy in draft folder

[batman4ever]

Lately m office 2016 kept save a copy in the draft folder after I replied to an email or create and sent an new email. All messages did sent properly, but it keep show up in the draft folder. I can't delete them until next day. I did check the advance option in mail and uncheck any option that say save draft, but it won't fix the issue.

Anyone here familiar with this?

TIA

Enable or disable the feature in Microsoft Outlook 2016 that automatically saves your email messages to the Drafts folder. 
You may like to have this turned on if you want to be able to recover messages that were lost while composing them. 
It can create a privacy issue though as you may be unaware of the messages that get saved. 
Change the setting using these simple steps.

1. In Outlook, select the “File” menu, then choose “Options“.

2. Select “Mail” on the left pane.

3. Check the “Automatically save items that have not been sent after this many minutes:” box to enable saving to the Drafts folder. Uncheck it to disable it. You may optionally want to change the amount of minutes or the folder the drafts are saved to within this same setting.

4. Select “OK” and you’re done.

Note: This will not have any bearing on the prompt to save your changes that appears when you close a message you are working on.

So by default like in the picture you posted, the option is set at auto safe message in draft after 3 minutes ( in this option I kept getting a copy in draft folder every time I sent or reply to an email)

I uncheck that option, and still getting a copy in draft folder even all messages sent Ok

Yesterday after reading your post I check back into that option , but set to 30 minutes. So far no copy in a draft folder all day today

Still don't know why wacky office save a copy in a draft folder

Thank you for your help Bad Karma
