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?

    On my version of New Outlook there is no drop-down arrow next to the send button.

    Here is a solution for automatically delaying each and every email you send by N minutes:

    It is quite useful. Previously I had done this via a VB script, which had the nice feature of delaying late night emails till the next morning.

    That doesn't work in New Outlook. Yes, that's how I already have it set up in Old Outlook but it doesn't work anymore in New Outlook.
