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?

    Hi De Paul

    I hope that you are well.

    Can you let us know when you are fixing this issue. I see it was first raised in 2023. Microsoft are typically amazing with these fixes. Can you let this chat know what is happening.

    You did mention it was easy to update outlook to do this.

    Many thanks Martin

    @De Paul -- It's been two years! Is the new outlook still considered "in Preview... under development"?****How much longer should we "wait for future updates," like this one that has been mentioned in many different community forums as a barrier for folks to switch to the new Outlook?

    Thank you for your advice. I have the 10-second delay set up, but I am really after a 30-minute delay. This was on the old version of Outlook and De Paul said it was an easy fix. I am asking De Paul to update us on this fix. Thanks again Dawid.

    This goes back to my initial enquiry- the number of times even a 3 minute delay was useful is amazing. Delaying until start of business the next day was also easier in old outlook.

    Searches in Old outlook were better, dragging emails from one account to another... not possible in New outlook. Example Gmail address to outlook address.

    Any way it is good to see there is pressure still being brought to bear.
