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?

    This is NOT helpful. I have been using CTRL+Enter to send emails for DECADES. I need to have a delay on my outbox.

    Removing a feature for a 'new improved version' seems completely counter-intuitive. We need this back!

    Please add this feature to be able to apply as rule to all outgoing emails!

    This is a basic, required feature that must be added before New Outlook can be used.
