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 also going back to the old outlook due to this reason - very important feature that has saved me many times. Thanks!

Please return this as a feature in the New Outlook. The ability to create a rule to delay the delivery of an email is an essential feature for me.
Thank you.
And I'm back to the old Outlook because this feature, and many more - like conditional formatting - are removed.
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?
