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 found it on New Outlook on my Mac.
Outlook -> Settings -> Composing -> "Undo Send: Wait to send messages for ___ seconds".
I was able to change mine from 20 seconds to 0 seconds, which eliminated any delay for all emails. You could reverse this and change from 0 seconds to 10 or 20 or whatever. Hope this helps!
I have the same question. I do not have the drop-down menu. I want to schedule an email to go out no sooner than 7:00am. It was easy with the old Outlook, but I have not been successful in finding a way to do it in the new Outlook. I often work very late and don't want emails delivered until the morning, so this is very important to me.
Agree this is an important feature that's holding me back from going to the new Outlook.
It should be there.
I found the Drop-down of the Send button.
