    Dear Aurelia Rochester,

    Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

    Based on your description, I understand that you have a query "How do I send recurring emails in outlook?"

    After thorough research and consulting, it has been determined that there is currently no function in Outlook that schedule sending same email yearly.

    However, you can schedule a yearly email in Office 365 and set it up to be recurring by settings a delayed email and create a yearly recurring event. Please follow the steps below:

    • Open your Outlook application or go to the Outlook web interface in your Office 365 account.
    • Click on the "New Email" button to compose a new email.
    • In the new email window, enter the recipient's email address in the "To" field.
    • Compose the content of your email, including the subject and body.
    • Once you have composed your email, click on the "Options" tab in the ribbon at the top of the window.
    • In the "More Options" group, click on the "Delay Delivery" button. This will open the message options window.
    • In the message options window, check the box next to "Do not deliver before" and select the date and time you want the email to be sent. In your case, choose the next upcoming Thursday morning.
    • Click "Close" to close the message options window.
    • Now, instead of clicking the "Send" button, click on the "File" tab in the ribbon at the top of the window.
    • In the "Save As" section, click on the "Save As" button and choose "Outlook Template" from the dropdown menu.
    • Give your email template a name and save it.
    • Close the email window without sending the email.

    Now that you have saved the email as a template, you can set it up to be sent automatically on a yearly basis:

    • Go to your Calendar in Outlook.
    • Click on the "New Appointment" or "New Event" button to create a new event.
    • In the event window, enter a title for the event, such as "Send yearly Email."
    • Set the date and time for the event to occur on the first Thursday morning.
    • In the event window, click on the "Recurrence" button to open the recurrence settings.
    • In the recurrence settings, choose the recurrence pattern as "Yearly" and set the event to recur every 1 year.
    • Click "OK" to save the recurrence settings.
    • In the event window, click on the "Add Attachments" button and select the email template that you saved earlier.
    • Save the event.

    From now on, your Office 365 calendar will automatically send the email template to the specified recipient every year (on July 1 as in my example in the screenshot), based on the recurrence pattern you set.

    I hope the above information will be helpful. Please feel free to let me know if there are any updates or if I've got you wrong. Glad to assist you. We sincerely appreciate your patience and cooperation. Thanks for your precious time!

    Sincerely,

    De Paul | Microsoft Community Moderator

    There needs to be a clear functional button that allows the user to create recurring emails.

    I hope this function can be enabled.

    I was here last month, many of the same questions. I eventually used "Microsoft Power Automate" https://make.powerautomate.com/ 

    There's am AI that gets you started, works well now after some tweaking over a couple of days. No extra charges, it links to your Microsoft account.

    Setup a yearly recuring calendar appointment that contains the body of what you want to send. When you receive the notification of needing to send it, just copy-n-paste it into a new message and send.
