How does one send an email message directly from the Drafts folder without the need to open the email message for drafting or "edit as new"?

Saving to Drafts usually implies the message is not ready to send without further editing. When a message is finished but you wish to send it at another time, use Send Later (Ctrl+Shift+Enter) to place it in the Outbox, then FIle/Send Unsent Messages to send the contents of Outbox.

If that is the case, there should be a way to edit messages in the Outbox folder.

Thank you

You can right-click an Outbox message, 'Edit as New Message', or Move it to Drafts. But you can't Move a message directly from Drafts to Outbox; you have to first open it.

Is there anyway for a macro-task that in one click, the message is moved from the Outbox to Draft and opens for editing?

Not that I know of - probably because the purpose of the Outbox is to store messages that don't require further editing.
