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 found the Drop-down of the Send button.

    Agree this is an important feature that's holding me back from going to the new Outlook.

    I have the same question. I do not have the drop-down menu. I want to schedule an email to go out no sooner than 7:00am. It was easy with the old Outlook, but I have not been successful in finding a way to do it in the new Outlook. I often work very late and don't want emails delivered until the morning, so this is very important to me.

    I found it on New Outlook on my Mac.

    Outlook -> Settings -> Composing -> "Undo Send: Wait to send messages for ___ seconds".

    I was able to change mine from 20 seconds to 0 seconds, which eliminated any delay for all emails. You could reverse this and change from 0 seconds to 10 or 20 or whatever. Hope this helps!
