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?

Dear Microsoft team, this feature is critical to our business. The lack of this feature in the new Outlook is a major drawback. We have decided not to upgrade to the new Outlook until this feature is available. Please, add this feature back. Thank you

Hi,
I strongly urge Microsoft to bring back the delayed send capabilities from the old Outlook. It was a wildly convenient feature, and I am left in shambles without it on my new Outlook.
Dear development team, please address this issue. New outlook is now having new features that look to be interesting with copilot for instance only being available in the new version.
when does Microsoft intend to fix this missing feature? It is vital to many users and preventing us from moving to the new version.
