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?

2 years after.... still not implemented... what a joke... hey MS, maybe we should ask this copilot thing to implement it
Yes please.
Add this feature.
Absolutely MUST have the automatic defer send option. I can't tell you how many times this has saved me. I am moving so fast through emails, and often think of something after I push Send. I sadly cannot move over to New outlook until this is added as a functionality.
Hello,
I just switched to new outlook, and saw that the feature of delayed email for couple of minutes is not available anymore. Its unfortunate that how outlook can miss such important details.
By the way 95% of my company members are not going to use updated feature just because of this reason.
And me ... I can't change until that feature is introduced to the new Outlook. Please GET IT DONE MICROSOFT!!!!!
