Delayed E-mails

Question

It is idiotic that delayed-send e-mails will not send unless I am logged in to Outlook.

What is the point then?

Answer 1

It states that in Classic Outlook for Windows, a delayed message remains in your Outbox, and Outlook must be connected and online for the message to be delivered.

I suggest that you use Outlook in a web browser for now(or the New Outlook App). Here's a quick path how to do it.

New message → arrow/drop-down beside Send → Schedule send → choose the date and time → Send.

The message should remain in Drafts until the scheduled time and then be sent by the servers, you shouldn't have to keep the browser open or stay logged in.

Answer 2

Hi!

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Can you confirm to me if your are using the Classic Outlook?

Also, there is a feature called Schedule send found in Outlook on the web or New Outlook. I can guide you how to check it since this is the most updated version of sending emails while Outlook is not open or not being online.
