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?

    I understand that in New Outlook it is not possible, as with the Classic Outlook, to create a delay sending Rule for all e-mails/accounts. This feature is really important so it is definitely a disadvantage to not have it available. So as advised in this forum, I looked to use the drop-down menu next to the Send button...but there isn't one. It seems that you can't even delay the sending of individual emails if it is an IMAP email account! This is completely hopeless - what are MS developers thinking of! Did they not undertake any user research before taking the decision to abandon this important functionality? When will the delay sending Rule be re-instated for all emails/accounts.

    This might not be exactly the same in terms of being able to delay sending for 3 minutes, but I found that you can enable cancelling for up to 20 seconds in the Settings (on MacOS Outlook). Basically a "Sending... Undo" appears at the bottom of Outlook and will allow you to cancel. Not sure if this is good enough for your requirements, but thought I would highlight it.

    I get to that setting from Outlook >> Settings >> Composing >> Undo Send

    PS. I tried to insert an image, but it appears to be broken

    We're not asking how to do this in Classic Outlook. That's the whole point, that this feature is not available in the new Outlook.

    I had the same question. I was able to establish a 10-second delay. (I have a Mac)

    Pathway: Settings -> Mail -> Compose and reply -> Undo Send

    Has anyone found an answer to this other than the insane suggestion from Microsoft? I thought it might work on the website for outlook but due to heavy restrictions on my companies' work computer, I cannot use outlook.com, I can only use the app. Would love to be able to delay, even a few seconds, after sending an email.
