Hello!
On the "Old version" of Outlook, it was relatively straightforward to add a send delay of, for example, 1 minute to outgoing emails, where the email is automatically stored in "Outgoing messages" for 1 minute before it is sent to the recipient. During this time you could make any changes to the email - re-read it, check and correct potential typos, etc. This could be done via a custom rule.
However, in the "New Outlook", this functionality appears to be removed. I was able to find an option to "Undo Send" for 10 seconds after send-out, however, 10 seconds isn't a lot of time.
Is it possible to add a send-delay to outgoing email in the "New Outlook" or was this functionality removed from the software?

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.
Any update on this ?
Would be great if this is added, or I will switch back to old outlook.
Its been a year this question has been added, sad there is no resolution until now.
We need this feature ASAP please
Thank you
I will not change to me Outlook until this feature is introduced. If it is not introduced and old z Outlook is phased out ... I will change my email programe. The delay feature is absolutely essential
I am also going back to the old outlook due to this reason - very important feature that has saved me many times. Thanks!
why does anything new on Microsoft seem to remove tried and tested processes for no apparent reason? A delay is great just in case you've missed something, now that has been removed. Doesn't seem to make any sense to me?
