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 agree with the poster, this is an important feature that I use daily, and I will not be able to adopt the new Outlook until the option to add a rule for a Delay longer than 10 seconds is added.

    Many people using this for professional use want the piece of mind that if they make a mistake, they have a little time to resolve it.

    I hope to see this make it to an update soon! I would love to use the New Outlook, but I cannot for this sole reason!

    Hello,

    Is there a way to configure a default send delay of 20 sec instead of instant send (with a default non-configured value of zero sec which becomes an instant send) ?

    "Schedule send" still needs the user to click the drop down and configure the time stamp when the email should be sent out.

    Hope the distinction of the use-case is clear .

    Best,
