I have recently switched to the New Outlook format and I'm trying to reestablish a 3 min delay on all emails I send.
The Rules tab does not allow for the same settings to be establish as available in classic format.
Is there a way to establish a delay in the new app?
Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I'll have to agree with everyone else here. This is a fairly important function in day to day business communications.
I won't be using the new outlook until this is resolved.
Fully agree - that was a functionality I relied heavily. Am a little dumbfounded that this new version wouldn't provide the option actually.
just saying useless to me too....
I would argue that removing the delay send functionality is discriminatory to those who are neurally atypical - I use it to be able to go back to the email after 5 mins and re-read for errors. This is essential to my work and the accuracy of my emails. I can't use outlook without it. So like other users, I can't/won't use the new iteration until this is fixed. And no, scheduling each email individually is not a reasonable solution,
Dear _8183,
Good day! Thank you for your reply.
As I mentioned in my initial reply above, this is a New Outlook that is currently in Preview, and the platform/foundation of the application itself is still under development, you have to understand that and wait for future updates. Luckily, at this stage of development, installing updates and restarting the client is a fast process. Alternately, you can revert back to "Classic" Outlook by disabling New Outlook toggle or close outlook and open outlook by using outlook.exe instead of olk.exe.
Moreover, thank you for bringing this to our attention. I believe your suggestion could make New Outlook even better. We'll bring your issues to our Product Development Team as New Outlook for Windows is still under development. We suggest posting your complaint as an idea to our Outlook in-app feedback by going to Help > Feedback. Refer to Contact support and provide feedback within the new Outlook for Windows - Microsoft Support
Note the Feedback will not be available if you disable the Optional connected experience. To enable Feedback, go to Settings > View all Outlook settings > General > Privacy and data > Privacy settings and turn on the Optional connected experience.
Our Product Development Team are committed to enhancing the customer experience by continually examining suggestions to include in the design and development of future product upgrades based on your suggestions. Hopefully, your suggestion will help many users in the future. I will update here if I get any useful update on this feature. Thank you for your understanding and support.
