That button simply tells Outlook to perform a send/receive operation for all of your accounts, looking for new incoming messages or sending any waiting outgoing messages. It does not send the contents of your folders to anyone.
To send the email, double-click it, and click Send. An email can also get stuck in the Outbox if it has a very large attachment. Your email provider may block emails with attachments larger than a size they specify.
A main reason why the email may be going the Drafts folder is its sending through the Outlook Outbox rather than the PoliteMail server and the message is too large to send through Outlook. Verify that Send Email Via is set to PoliteMail Server, not Outlook Outbox. Click OK.
Go to the Send/Receive tab and click Send All. You'll see a dialog box showing the results of the process, and your email might exit the outbox.

This duplication is caused when your account is sending through Gmail's SMTP server and Outlook is configured to save a copy of each sent item. You may choose to disable this setting by following these steps if you are using Outlook 2013 or 2016: Click on File.
The reason there are duplicates in the Sent Items folder for some email providers is that the server automatically creates an item in the Sent Items and Outlook uploads the same item again. For Read/Unread status of an email Outlook relies on the server. If the status from server is unread Outlook sets it accordingly.
