Forwarded emails saving a copy in the drafts folder

We are experiencing an issue with Outlook 2010 on Exchange 2010 when forwarding emails. A copy of the email is being saved in the Drafts folder, but the email is still being sent.
We tried unchecking the option "Saved forwarded messages" which eliminated the email being put in the drafts folder, but then there is no record in the sent items.
Any suggestions

Same issue via OWA?
What if you try a different PC?
What if you try a user on the same PC?
May be quicker to export mailbox to PST and then recreate new mailbox and import back into PST.

hi,
All users meet this issue when they are forwarding mail,or only part of them?
Maybe a rule make your mail save to the folder.
Creat two new mailboxs.
Then Trying to forward mail between the two new users,this can help us make sure that no rules on the mailbox.
see whether the issue is still occured.
hope can help you
thanks,

Can you test via OWA?
If 2003 is still around, can you move a user back and test?

Thursday, February 23, 2012 3:20 PMYes I tested it with OWA and the same result. It is not happening with users running Outlook 2003 only with Outlook 2010; with 2010 Outlook the version of exchange 2003/2010 doesn't matter, it happens with either on both versions of exchange.

I assume you have Office SP1 and the latest hotfix applied?

That is very strange,
Can you run Outlook in safe mode and test?
If you have a desktop image, can you build a off shelf version of OS and put Outlook on it and test?
