Outlook offers a tool to allow a user to specify a delayed send time for an email. (Of course that isn't quite the same as a delivery time, as that depends at least in part on the recipient's system.)
The scheduled email will sit in a folder called Outbox until it is time for it to be sent. While there it remains possible to open and edit the message, then confirm the delayed delivery by clicking Send again (or re-schedule it). (The Outbox folder will/may not be visible unless there is a scheduled message in it waiting to go.)
Delay Email Outlook For Mac
The scheduled email will sit in the Drafts folder until it is time for it to be sent. The scheduled send time will be shown with the message. This can't be amended as such, but can be cancelled, and then reset. To edit the content of the message the scheduled send time must first be cancelled.

Outlook for Mac (16.62) now includes a "wait to send" feature, allowing you to specify a delay before sent messages are actually sent to the server. The idea being that if you realise you've made a mistake a few seconds after sending, you can cancel and amend the email. I've set a delay of 15 seconds.
The Request a Delivery and Read receipts, email templates, and creating calendar events and tasks from emails additions are available today to all Office 365 subscribers on version 15.35 (170610), says Microsoft. And the improved account setup experience is available to all Outlook Mac users on version 15.34 (170515).
There are times, though, when it makes sense to ensure your email arrives at a scheduled time. You might write a work-related email late at night but not want it to appear in the recipient's inbox until the start of the work day, for example.
Scheduling the email on Outlook App on Mac is a bit easier than any other Best Email Client App. So if you are new to Outlook and willing to know how you can do that, simply follow the given steps below.
Some users might not be fond of using the Microsoft Desktop App; instead, they always prefer using the web app. For them, we have covered steps to clear out the confusion for delayed delivery in Outlook.
To send scheduled Email in Outlook, For mac: firstly cancel the email as mentioned above and then hit on the Send button. And for windows: Outbox > Delayed Message > Options > Three-Vertical Dots > Delay Delivery > Uncheck box present next to the Do Not Deliver Before > Send.

Both Outlook on the web (for work and school accounts) and Outlook.com (for personal MSA accounts) allow you to schedule emails. Both web apps also use the same UI, and the different steps you need to follow to schedule emails are similar:
To schedule an email, you can just follow the steps we mentioned above for scheduling an email in the Outlook web app. After adding a recipient, tap on the dropdown arrow next to the send button, then tap on Send Later.

It sometimes becomes urgent to de-schedule an email and send it immediately. Email marked for delayed delivery live in the Outbox folder in the left sidebar. Outlook has an option to cancel the scheduled email. The process is as follows:
Microsoft Outlook is a marvel of software engineering, considering its numerous features. Delaying emails by all of two hours is breathtaking, by any standards. But, it often proves not to be an easy walk in the park for the uninitiated. Even the most detailed manuals are not as clear on how to schedule an email in Outlook. However, rather than have to go through these many hoops when you schedule or unscheduling delayed delivery in Outlook, an option like Mailbird is definitely worth the try.
I do not recommend delaying messages more than a few days. Some versions of Outlook uses the date you pressed Send as the sent date, not the date it handed the message off to a SMTP server. If the recipient uses a sort by sent date view, they may not see your message. (Test this before using it.)
I highly recommend testing this feature before using, so you understand how it works. Testing it beforehand will allow you to see if your email server uses the time you sent it to the Outbox or when Outlook actually sent the message.

SendLater is a free Outlook add-in e-mail scheduler with recurring email option. Prepare all your email notifications and reminders in advance and schedule their delivery. Re-send email automatically if a reply is not received. Set up repetitive follow-up emails at comprehensive time intervals. When sending recurrent emails, you can set path to CSV file and load recipients from that CSV file automatically. The updated SendLater is fully compatible with the latest Windows 2018 October Update and Microsoft Outlook 2019.
Schedule Recurring Email schedules email to send later. The maximum number of emails that can be scheduled can be in the hundreds. You can schedule emails that go out hourly, daily, monthly, early, or randomly. The monthly and yearly patterns can be adjusted by a number of days so that schedules like "2nd to last workday of the year" or "3 days after the first Tuesday of every month" can be specified. Works with all Outlook accounts, including IMAP and Outlook.com.
Use ScheduledSend for Outlook to send emails on a schedule. Set a schedule and recurrence as Outlook appointment and send emails on a later date. The add-in adds a separate calendar where all your scheduled emails are displayed in a familiar fashion.
do you mean you had to move it out of the outbox and into the inbox, then hit Send? Do the messages send if you don't look in the outbox? If so, something is marking the messages read - see -problems-that-cause-email-to-stay-in-the-outbox/#outbox
Hi Diane.I am glad to see that you are still following this question chain. I am using Outlook 2010. I try to send delayed delivery emails, but then I logout when I am not using my computer, so the message does not send until I log back in. Is there a setting that still allows these messages to go through whether I am logged in or not? Thanks so much!!
How do I make this work? I had a email scheduled for the next day certain time. Than I just closed my laptop not thinking anything of it. Than I go to see if the test email came through and see nothing. How would I do this to make it right?
Diane,I am wondering if one can schedule a "reply" or "reply all" for a later time/date? I know how to schedule an initial email to send later but can't figure it out with regards to a reply email.Thanks,Chris
If I create a rule to delay sending a message for 5 minutes in Outlook 2013 with Exchange Server on premises, once I click "Send" the message is held in the Outbox as expected. If I go to the Outbox and I want to send the message without waiting for the 5 minutes, I've tried to open the message and uncheck the "Do not deliver before.....". I was thinking if I cleared this field and click "Send", the message would leave right away without waiting for the 5 minutes. This doesn't work. Is it supposed to work this way?
Hi Diane,I have question about outlook. I used option delay email and everything is working great BUT. I am sending message to my client at 11pm and setting don't send before 9am.He will receive this at 9am ,but it showing in the message that I sent this at 11pm.Is it possible that he will have showed that I sent this at 9am and he received at 9am even if I sent at 11pm? I just don't want to show my clients that I am working evening hours as they will be sending me million emails.
The good news is that Microsoft Outlook provides a way to recall a message that has already been sent. However, that only works for Office 365 and Microsoft Exchange accounts and has many other limitations. A more reliable way is to prevent these kinds of situations by delaying email sending for a certain interval. This will give you a bit of time for afterthought and an opportunity to grab a message from the Outbox folder before it actually goes out.
All outgoing messages in Outlook are routed through the Outbox folder. Unless you disabled the default setting, once a message gets into the Outbox, it is sent immediately. To change this, set up a rule to delay email sending. Here's how:
Note. If you performed the above steps but your Outlook still sends and receives mail automatically, most likely you don't have control over your server. Alas, you will have to live with it.Schedule email sending and receivingTo schedule automatic send/receive in Outlook, this is what you need to do:
Also, you can set up an out of office auto-reply to inform people who sent you an email that you are out of office and will get in touch later. Also, we'd recommend configuring Outlook Junk Mail Filter to block as many unsolicited emails as possible. 2ff7e9595c
