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 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

Hi De Paul,
Has there been any update on this. I am having the same issue where I can not add a delay to my sent emails in the new outlook.
I add a 1 minute delay to every sent email, and often revert back to my outbox to catch my mistakes.
Kind regards,
Conor
I think this may be what you are looking for? It's not perfect, but may be a work around.

This thread has the opposite problem, but the problem is the solution to your problem. Seems like all you have to do is uncheck "Send immediately when connected". It doesn't set up the automatic delay, but at least will delay all emails so that you can then have time to decide what to do with them until later. You can then also change your send/receive settings to "Schedule and automatic send/receive every ___" which doesn't seem to have the two hour limitation.
fully agree. I don't see any sense to limit the delay delivery time less than 10 sec.
