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?

    You are wasting your time. Nobody is listening.

    Try emailing Miscrosoft's CEO, Satya Nadella e: satya@microsoft.com

    Ask him why his development department screwed up a perfectly useable programme by introducing features nobody wants and deleting features most people want....certainly those in business. Guess it is called 'anti-marketing'.

    this is really unbelievable. after more than 2 years of this thread, no response from the dev team. if i wasn't forced to use microsoft because of my work place I would be happily using other alternative, and much more affordable, open sourced, non invasive solutions. /end rant

    Hi Paul thank you for you time with this. Is there any update on improving this as there appears to be a lot of requests for the old delay to be reinstated

    Cheers

    Can't believe after two years, this still doesn't exist as a feature in New Outlook. Why change the way rules were setup in the first place when they've been the same for decades and working just fine as well? This alone makes New Outlook so hard to use.
