It’s worse when it’s professionally. Yesterday I wrote and sent an email before lunch, except near the end of the day I saw I had an email in my Drafts folder and had never actually hit send.
I'll come back to the chat two hours later when I suddenly remember that this person hasn't answered me yet only to find my message, halfway typed out, in the draft box.
This actually happens to me a lot at work...but it's because:
I sign work emails with a certificate and sometimes it asks for the password
My company also has us mark each email with a third-party classification program.
These don't come up until you hit Send, and sometimes can take several seconds.
So naturally I get distracted, open up a hundred more windows, and eventually reboot.
The really fun thing about this, is that it won't even save a draft if it was waiting for a password...so Outlook continues to gaslight me on whether or not I wrote the email in the first place.
This happened to me this year when I was booking a band for a wedding party. They were thankfully very kind about it since I was booking with so much advance notice.

Constant problem with outlook. Have to check the sent folder every time
This happens to me at least weekly and I can't take it anymore

Do this way more than I’d like to admit

"Sometimes"?
Dude, I hate it when that happens.
Signal plugin idea: whenever you type a new letter, a countdown (re)starts that automatically sends the message after 5 minutes.
That is a terrifying idea that would guarantee I never start an email.
