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?

    I am surprised and very disappointed at Microsoft"s complete lack of response to this problem which is a sticking point for many potential users of new Outlook.

    Microsoft, are we not even going to get the courtesy of a response and a timetable for getting this fixed?

    We did not ask for new outlook ... you imposed it on us ... and then gave us a version which, in an important respect, is inferior to classic outlook.

    Dear Libeamlak,

    The Outlook Classic delay send in the desire time setting of say 1 to 5mins is corporate friendly, it allows company to let new staffs to be certain or check prior sending. The New Outlook 10secs max is more for personal/family friendly and not so favourable for Business.

    Thanks

    Dave

    @Libeamlak - Any progress on this one? Can you share when the setting for delayed sending more than 10sec is coming out?

    What a shame such an important part of New Outlook email is still missing.
