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 need this feature to use the new outlook - I recommend this feature to many of my neurodiverse staff.

    Thank you for clarification that this valuable feature has disappeared with new Outlook.

    Like many others I'll have to go back to old Outlook after being compelled to new Outlook by multiple messages and buggy behavior of late....

    The ability to create custom delay send rules is extremely valuable and is crucial for me. I was disappointed to find this functionality missing in the new Outlook. The limited 10-second delay is insufficient for my needs, forcing me to revert to the old version. Please prioritize the inclusion of customizable delay send options in the new Outlook.
