How to Delay Delivery of All Outgoing Emails in Outlook - Previous Thread Invalid Answer

How can we delay delivery of all outgoing emails in New Outlook? Previous thread created and erroneously marked complete over a year ago. No real response from Microsoft. Please let us know when this bug is fixed so we can finally migrate to New Outlook.

I miss the ability to delay sending all my emails with a sliding scale of up to 2 minutes. I liked that feature because if you realize you missed a attachment, you could easily go into outbox and attach. INow before I send and email, the only way to delay a message is to perform this delay on each individual email, which is time consuming.

10 second delay option in New Outlook is simply not enough, previously you could build a rule to delay send on outbox by any number of minutes you wanted. The simple solution for Microsoft is to increase the slider option up to 10 minutes as an example instead of 10 seconds. We are not deploying New Outlook to 100's of our staff and this being a main reason.

We need a way of choosing to delay send in New Outlook by a configurable amount considerably higher than 10 seconds.

Hi @Sean Patterson

There are still some limitations to delayed sending at this time.Please kindly understand that many functions are not designed at present. I noticed that this feedback has been submitted by the official feedback portal and that the official team has noticed and marked it as "We need more details.". I will leave a feedback link so that more people like the comment and offer suggestions.
