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?
Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I also just went back to old Outlook, for this reason. Unfortunately when I switched back, many of my other rules were unable to transfer because of a "server error". It's still worth it to have this functionality again, but echoing the feedback that it's too bad New Outlook didn't have it yet.
100% agree. This is the primary function that's holding me back from using the new outlook.
Hi
We do NOT find drop down in Send ?
I'm looking for a default 1-minute send delay, too, before switching to New Outlook.

you were also able to set a permanent delay until you told it to send by switching off the send and receive button in the advanced settings. Like many I am not moving (unless the IT department say I have to) as this is a huge no no for me
