Adding a Send Delay to outgoing emails on the New Outlook

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?

    Thank you but that is a negative action, would prefer to wait for a positive action from Microsoft with New Outlook. After Microsoft going to so much trouble introducing New Outlook seems a shame to have too revert to Old Outlook.

    I have just checked and I cannot see any change ... i.e. still no feature to delay sending ... which remains critical to me.

    I am going to start looking at other email solutions.
