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?

    Hello,

    I just switched to new outlook, and saw that the feature of delayed email for couple of minutes is not available anymore. Its unfortunate that how outlook can miss such important details.

    By the way 95% of my company members are not going to use updated feature just because of this reason.

    I am surprised and very disappointed at Microsoft"s complete lack of response to this problem which is a sticking point for many potential users of new Outlook.

    Microsoft, are we not even going to get the courtesy of a response and a timetable for getting this fixed?

    We did not ask for new outlook ... you imposed it on us ... and then gave us a version which, in an important respect, is inferior to classic outlook.
