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?

    The Send Delay and Drafts emails stay in the same folder which is Draft Folder.

    there is no drop-down option next to "send"

    There is if you're using a Microsoft email account. IMAP accounts don't show the dropdown. Scheduled send (not just delayed send) is a feature I require, as I send business related emails. First they limit the number of accounts to 10, now I can't schedule my emails. The more time I spend with the 'new' outlook, the less it works for my needs.

    I think users just need to keep up the pressure on Microsoft to add the delay feature. It is obviously widely used

    I also really would like to see the delay feature added. I had this as a standard rule for all my outgoing email and it definitely saved me a couple of times from making errors. I'm switching back to the old version until they have added the feature.

    This is an absolutely critical need and should be added as soon as possible, please, to New Outlook.
